Center for Single Molecule Biophysics

Technology

Our research is supported by a variety of technologies, including a portable hazardous handling station, atomic force and optical microscopy instrumentation and chemical synthesis hoods, to name a few.

In addition, the main lab features sample preparation benches, gatan ion-beam coater, oxygen plasman, UV ozone cleaner, optical microscopes, shimadzu UV-Vis spectrophotometer and UVP bioimaging systems.

Atomic force microscopy instrumentation

For molecular imaging, several atomic force microscopes have been custom-built for our team.

Analytical instrumentation

Cell culture

Hazardous handling station

This portable station comes complete with a glove box and hydrogen flame station.

Chemical synthesis hoods

Our core technology includes several chemical synthesis hoods, a pine electrochemistry station, STM tip etching station and biosensing imaging surface plasmon resonance.
