Keck Subbasement:Equipment

Available equipement
Rough list of equipment which is currently available:

There is also some equipment in nearby instructional labs (mainly Spalding) that we can use over the summer
 * Electroporation machine - Spalding or Broad (not sure where)
 * Plate reader - Spalding
 * -80 freezer space - Spalding

Missing equipment
Here is a list of equipment that the lab is missing:

2008 list

 * Balance ($3K)
 * Autoclave - this can probably be shared with others in Spalding. A decent-sized autoclave looks like it costs $10-20K.  Jared has one that is out for repair.  Chinlin does not currently have an autoclave
 * Spectroflourimeter ($25K+)
 * Spectrophotometer ($??) or nanodrop ($8K) - share with others in Spalding. Check on current spectrophotometer first
 * Nanopure (water filtration machine) - a small benchtop unit seems to cost about $3-5K
 * Hot plate with stirrer (found one in the lab)
 * Ice machine - the one in the subbasement is broken. Jared has one; Chinlin has ordered one => we can probably do without
 * Gel imager ($8-10K) - we have the equipment required to image gels by hand; might be useful at some point to get a real imager

2007 list

 * Electroporation Machine
 * Filters for scope that can see mCherry, cerulean, and YFP
 * -80 deg C freezer - available in Spalding
 * Fluorimeter - available in Spalding, but might be nice to have one
 * Equipment for running polyacrylamide gels

Purchased

 * Medium/Large Centrifuge (for minipreps, competent cells, falcon tubes) - purchased in 2007; now sitting in the Spalding instructional laboratory
