Molecular Genetics
The Molecular Genetics Laboratory is a purpose built, fully appointed research laboratory dedicated to providing the necessary resources to post-graduate students and researchers involved in molecular genetic projects.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
NMR spectroscopy at the CSL is used in a wide range of the sciences including organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry, pharmacy, zoology, marine and plant science.
Organic Mass Spectrometry
The Laboratory has three organic mass spectrometers and associated chromatographs:
- a Waters UPLC/Xevo triple quadrupole MS
- a Bruker-300 triple quadrupole benchtop gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer and
- a Kratos Concept double-focusing magnetic sector high resolution MS
GC-FID, Diode Array UV-Vis, ELSD and flow scintillation counting are also available
Proteomics Mass Spectrometry
This facility has a LTQ Orbitrap high resolution Electrospray Tandem Mass Spectrometer. This is suitable for the following applications:
- Nanospray Qualitative Proteomics
- Quantatitive Proteomics, both labeled and label free
- Metabolomics
Elemental Analyser
The facility for Elemental Microanalysis is equipped with a Thermo Finnigan EA 1112 Series Flash Elemental Analyser and is used to determine the Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Sulphur contents of a variety of materials.
Confocal 2 photon Microscope
This equipment is housed in the Menzies research Institute. For enquires contact the CSL Director, Evan Peacock 0362262055 e.peacock@utas.edu.au
