Fluorescent microscopes

Description

We have received an infrastructure grant for buying an optical manipulation platform from Lumicks in Holland. The platform contains a built in confocal microscope system and super-resolution microscope (STED), four optical traps and a microfluidic system. Model: SR Q-Trap system and it is the second of its kind in the world and is produced by Lumicks. The system is intended as a research equipment for 15 research groups in the Copenhagen area in a center called Center for Optical Biomanipulaion (COBM).

Procurement of a correlative tweezers-fluorescence instrument (C-Trap® SR G2) consisting of continuous wave quadruple traps optical tweezers, correlated super resolution fluorescence microscopy, multi-channel laminar flow micro-fluidics, and user-friendly C++/ python operating software. Purchase includes 5 years full warranty (labor and parts coverage). Instrument will be used for performing single-molecule experimentation with an absolute correlation of force and fluorescence for, e.g.: protein/nucleid acid (un)folding, DNA/RNA-protein interactions, and microtubules and actin assays.
