This resource provides custom DNA and RNA synthesis as well as custom cell culture media at a fraction of the cost of commercial sources. The supply arm of this resource stocks freshly prepared bacteria growth plates with or without antibiotics, transformation competent bacteria, and commercial kits and reagents for molecular biology research. On-line ordering is available and there is free delivery to the lab.

The Bioanalytics Facility houses state-of–the-art instrumentation for imaging and quantitation of fluorescent, radioactive, luminescent, and chemiluminescent signals from gels, membranes, or multiple well plates. Gels and membranes stained with visible dyes or ethidium bromide can also be analyzed. Digitized images can be saved to transportable storage for further analysis in the lab or prints can be made on site. This facility also has four “real-time” PCR instruments available on a sign-out basis.
