Cell Biology The Jalink lab is scaling down. This means part of our equipments has to go. Here you’ll find a list of rare, old, functioning and/or modified hardware that is available immediately. If you are interested, please drop me an email and we’ll discuss.
This stuff is available in order of priority to: (1) NKI researchers (for free); (2) Colleague microscopists and other scientists (Combined purchase was almost half a million E but any bid will be considered. Money contributes towards our exploitation budget to continue experimenting.) and (3) hobbyists and private users. All equipment was functional last time I checked, but no guarantee is given whatsoever.
PTI quantamaster 2-channel photon-counting spectro-fluorometer with high-Quality gratings, slit control, 240 nm to 800 nm emission range, mercury arch lamp. 4-cuvette sample compartment (stirred). Works on Win-2000 PC only (included).
Osmomat 030 freeze-point osmometer. With several ampulles of calibration solutions.
mini-print drill and standard. Ideal for fabricating your own printed circuits. For the hobbyist.
FLIM SETUP!!! Lambert Instruments frequency-domain FLIM setup with Toggle-flim camera. 4-LED sine modulated LED engine, 5-80 MHz, with analysis PC and electronics (some part experimental, but working fine). Comes with the shown microscope and controller, but NOT with the steel table. I also have additional Lambert Instruments hardware: a intensifier-based modulated camera and the control hardware for that, and an extra flim lamphouse, to potentially build your own second setup.
Sutter Instruments fast filter wheel controller. Plus filterwheel.
PTI digital interface for photon counting and control.
Pico-Quant 2-channel TCSPC system for FLIM with one diode laser.
PTI dual-channel photometer system, consisting of 2 PMTs, beam splitter and filters. Ideal to do single-cell FRET ratio with extremely low excitation powers. Easily attached to any fluorescence microscope. I have TWO available of this setup.
Various microscope bodies for use/parts, amongst which a fully working Axiovert 135M (ideal to put one of the dual-photometer attachments on!).
Multiple electrophoresis supplies. Also fun for your little kids….
Nikon HBO lamphouse + supply
Zeiss HBO lamphouse + supply
Burleigh precision patchclamp manipulator XYZ 12.5mm manual + XYZ 10 um Piezo stages for precision control, plus controller plus xyz dials. I have TWO sets of this hardware. !Needs some thorough cleanup/lubrication for smooth operation!
Could be combined to make one 6D manipulator! (oh no. Just joking)
Dualview beamsplitter for emission ratio on a single CCD chip. with two sets of filters, one optimized for CFP&YFP.
