The following services are available at the UNLV Central Services Core.

 

Microarrays
We process Affymetrix and standard glass slide microarrays. Because microarrays are such an individualized procedure, please call us to discuss your specific needs.

Real Time Quantitative PCR
The Bio-Rad iCycler Real Time PCR Detection System is used for real time quantization of DNA. If necessary, the staff will help create templates by reverse transcription, set up reactions, or run plates that have already been set up. Data can be emailed to you or saved to CD or flash-drive.

Gel and Blot Imaging
The GE Healthcare Typhoon 9410 is a high performance gel and blot imager with the capability of microarray analysis. It offers three methods of detection: storage phosphor, fluorescence and chemiluminescence. This system handles gel sandwiches, agarose and polyacrylamide gels, membranes, microplates and microarrays. Red, green, and blue excitation wavelengths and a wide choice of emission filters enable imaging of an extensive variety of fluorophores. Automated four-color fluorescence scanning allows multiplexing of multiple targets in the same sample.
