Genomics-Flow Cytometry Unit is one of central services of Technology Support Center (CAT) at the Rey Juan Carlos University. It provides technological support in the fields of Genomics and Flow Citometry to research groups both from the own University and external users from other research centers. Access to the Unit services request is through the informatics tool Servilims that can be found on the CAT website.
DNA sequencing, Genotyping, mutation detection through DNA fragment analysis amplified by PCR and fluorescence labelled. Epigenetic studies by bisulfite treated-DNA sequencing.
Gene expression studies, DNA absolute quantification (microorganisms quantification in biological samples, Gene dosage quantification) and Genptyping (one nucleotide-polymorphism detection).
Gene expression studies, DNA absolute quantification (microorganisms quantification in biological samples, Gene dosage quantification) and Genptyping (one nucleotide-polymorphism detection).
Qualitative and quantitative determinations of biological and physical properties of cells when they pass one by one through a laser beam. 2 Laser beams and 5 fluorescence parameters.
Analysis and physical separation of cells by flow cytometry. It allows depositing cells (even single cell) in tube or plate. 3 lasers and 8 fluorescence parameters
Fluorescence scanning, quantification and analysis from gels, membranes, slides and microplates. It allows simultaneous detection of 4 colours.
Equipment for fluorescence and chemiluminescence imaging in gels and membranes and subsequent analysis of these images
El FLUOstar® Omega es un lector de microplacas con seis modos de detección: intensidad de fluorescencia (incluyendo FRET), luminiscencia (incluyendo BRET), absorbancia UV/Vis, fluorescencia en tiempo resuelto (incluyendo TR-FRET), y AlphaScreen®/AlphaLISA®. Utiliza un espectrómetro ultravioleta ultravioleta / vis o filtros para la absorbancia, así como filtros altamente sensibles para todos los demás modos de detección.
Spectrophotometer that allows working with very small sample volumes, up to 1.5 microliters. Determination of the concentration of DNA, RNA and proteins. It allows the detection of contaminants in the sample.
Equipment to determine precise concentration and integrity of RNA, DNA and proteins by fluorometric reactions and highly sensitive gel electrophoresis
