The FRENCH Pressure Cell delivers higher pressures than bombs or decompression systems, without pre-treating the sample. Cells are lysed by forcing the cell or tissue suspension through a narrow space, thereby shearing the cell membraneøs.A French press consists of a piston that is used to apply high pressure to a sample volume of 40 to 250 ml, forcing it through a tiny hole in the press. It can reach pressures of 20,000-40,000 pounds per square inch (psi).

HPLC

Administrator: Hyuk Kyu Seoh

Administrator Contact: 404-413-5379

Application: The Beckman HPLC has solvent delivery modules that are built with a rapid fill pump design that produce smooth flow from microbore to semi-preparative flow rates and thee high-pressure mixing design eliminates the need for constant helium sparging or degassing. The pumps are combined with high-sensitivity UV/VIS and diode array detectors and autosamplers. Flow range: 0.01 - 10.0 ml/min.; wavelength range: 190 - 700 nm; Maximum back pressure: 17 ul capacity flow cell; Programmable functions: wavelength, range, rise time, auto zero, event mark, relays, lamp off, peak detection, peak threshold, bandwidth and stop data.

Preparative HPLC refers to the process of isolation and purification of compounds. Important is the degree of solute purity and the throughput, which is the amount of compound produced per unit time. This differs from analytical HPLC, where the focus is to obtain information about the sample compound. Chemical Separations can be accomplished using HPLC by utilizing the fact that certain compounds have different migration rates given a particular column and mobile phase. Each compound should have a characteristic peak under certain chromatographic conditions. Depending on what needs to be separated and how closely related the samples are, the chromatographer may choose the conditions, such as the proper mobile phase, to allow adequate separation in order to collect or extract the desired compound as it elutes from the stationary phase. With these characteristic peaks, identification of compounds can be done. HPLC also allows for quantification of compounds by determining the unknown concentration of a compound in a known solution.

BT3.3 EL Lyophilizer Tabletop

Location: PSC 555

Administrator: Sonja Young and Hyuk Kyu Seoh

Administrator Contact: 404-413-5363 and 404-413-5379

Application: Sublimation occurs when a frozen sample goes directly to the gaseous phase without passing through the liquid phase. As the ice sublimates, it leaves voids in the dry residual material making it easy to rehydrate. Freeze drying samples stabilizes them for storage, preservation, or shipping . Many times, drying causes damage and some loss of cellular or protein activity. Lyophilization is a method of sample preservation that significantly reduces damage to biological samples. Substances that are not damaged by freezing can usually be lyophilized so that refrigerated storage is unnecessary. Important exceptions are mammalian cells, nearly all of which are destroyed by lyophilization. However, many microorganisms and proteins survive lyophilization well, and it is a preferred method of drying vaccines, pharmaceuticals, blood fractions, and other laboratory samples. Some specialist food products are also lyophilized.

Application: DNA Microarrays and Proteomic Technologies allow scientists to detect genes or proteins that are coregulated and whose patterns of change correlate with something important such as a disease state. However there is no assurance that these changes are really significant to the cell. Phenotype MicroArrays are a complementary technology providing the needed information at the cellular level ... and much more. After a genetic change or exposure to a drug lead, the researcher can directly evaluate the cellular response to that change. Phenotype MicroArrays can monitor, either directly or indirectly, most known aspects of cell function. The range of phenotypes includes:

• Cell surface structure and transport functions
• Catabolism of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur
• Biosynthesis of small molecules
• Synthesis and function of macromolecules and cellular machinery
• Cellular respiratory functions
• Stress and repair functions
• Other cellular properties

AFM Multimode VIII

Administrator: "Jesse Gardner or John Houghton

Administrator Contact: (404) 413-5363 or (404) 413-5390

Application: The AFM is one of the foremost tools for imaging, measuring, and manipulating matter at the nanoscale. The information is gathered by "scanning" the surface on which the biological samples is based with a mechanical probe. Piezoelectric elements that facilitate tiny but accurate and precise movements on (electronic) command enable the very precise scanning. Electric potentials can also be scanned using conducting cantilevers. In this more advanced versions, currents can be passed through the tip to probe the electrical conductivity or transport of the underlying surface. There are various modes of scanning, which include:
•Contact Mode
•Non-Contact Mode
•Peak Force Mode (new to the VIII upgrade) which analyzes each tip-sample interaction to extract nanomechanical properties including modulus, adhesion, deformation, and dissipation.

Deconvolution Microscope

Location: PSC 871/873

Administrator: Bill Walthall

Administrator Contact: (404) 413-5391

Application: Deconvolution is a computationally intensive image processing technique that is being increasingly utilized for improving the contrast and resolution of digital images captured in the microscope. The foundations are based upon a suite of methods that are designed to remove or reverse the blurring present in microscope images induced by the limited aperture of the objective.
This upgrade using a new UNIX based OS, allows the user to image material in 4D at high resolution (6.7 mm pixels). A CoolSnap HQ2 CCD camera allows the software to apply sophisticated algorithms to remove out of focus light and reassign refracted light to the calculated point of origin. The result is an image with a broad dynamic range of signal and stunning detail. The system is equipped with DIC optics, allowing the user to combine DIC and fluorescent light microscopy. The upgraded software is considerably more user friendly. 3D and 4D reconstructions are easier to setup and also has improved resolution. Possible applications include:
•High resolution imaging of cells and subcellular structure with multichannel detatil.
•Imaging of living cells over time.
•Detection and quantication of cell permeant, expressed, or injected fluorescent probes in living cells
•3D and 4D reconstructions

Administrator: Sonja Young

Administrator Contact: 404-413-5363

Application: Some of the separation Methods used in preparative ultracentrifugation:

Differential centrifugation: pelleting. Start with a uniform mixture of sample – molecules or organelles in buffer. Centrifuge to obtain pellet of heavier molecules, and supernatant.

Density gradient centrifugation: Rate zonal (also termed sedimentation velocity, zone centrifugation). Use a continuous density gradient of solvent such as sucrose. Density increases toward the bottom of tube. Sample is layered on top. Centrifuge until molecules form discrete bands depending upon their sedimentation values. Generally stop the run before any of the molecules reaches the bottom. 100% separation is possible with a small sample. Separates molecules based on size (MW). Used to separate various types of macromolecules – mixture of proteins; different types of RNA; separate DNA from RNA, or proteins; ribosomal subunits; polyribosomes.

Density gradient centrifugation: Isopycnic centrifugation (also termed sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation). Mix gradient material (such as cesium chloride- CsCl) with sample molecules. During the centrifugation, the CsCl generates a gradient (“self-generating gradient”), and the molecules move to the position in the gradient where their density is the same as the gradient material. Requires long centrifugation time to form a gradient (36-48 hrs). Separates molecules based on their density – may have the same size. Often used to separate various types of DNA – circular vs linear, double stranded vs single stranded, DNA from RNA (RNA pellets), highly repetitive DNA (satellite DNA) from other DNA in the cell, can be used for separation of lipoproteins and cell organelles.

Density increases toward the bottom of tube. Sample is layered on top. Centrifuge until molecules form discrete bands depending upon their sedimentation values. Generally stop the run before any of the molecules reaches the bottom. 100% separation is possible with a small sample. Separates molecules based on size (MW). Used to separate various types of macromolecules – mixture of proteins; different types of RNA; separate DNA from RNA, or proteins; ribosomal subunits; polyribosomes.

Density gradient centrifugation: Isopycnic centrifugation (also termed sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation). Mix gradient material (such as cesium chloride- CsCl) with sample molecules. During the centrifugation, the CsCl generates a gradient (“self-generating gradient”), and the molecules move to the position in the gradient where their density is the same as the gradient material. Requires long centrifugation time to form a gradient (36-48 hrs). Separates molecules based on their density – may have the same size. Often used to separate various types of DNA – circular vs linear, double stranded vs single stranded, DNA from RNA (RNA pellets), highly repetitive DNA (satellite DNA) from other DNA in the cell, can be used for separation of lipoproteins and cell organelles.

Administrator Contact: 404-413-5363

Application: The Stratagene UV crosslinker is designed to crosslink DNA or RNA to Nylon, nitrocellulose, or nylon-reinforced mitrocellulose membranes after Northern or Southern blots, dot blotting and colony or plaque lifts. The crosslinking process takes only 25–50 seconds, in contrast to the traditional method of baking filters at 80 °C for 2 hours. Additionally, crosslinking has been shown to significantly increase hybridization signals when compared to oven-baking. Other applications include nicking ethidium bromide stained DNA in agarose gels and gene mapping ofr creating cleavage-inhibiting thymine dimers.
