(Equipment No Longer Active At this Facility)
Nanodrop Qubit 3 Fluorometer
Benchtop fluorometer that can be used for the quantitation of DNA, RNA, microRNA, and protein using the highly sensitive and accurate fluorescence-based Qubit quantitation assays. Additionally, Ion Sphere Particle quality can be evaluated on the Qubit 3.0 Fluorometer using the Ion Sphere Quality Control Kit prior to performing a sequencing run on the Ion Personal Genome Machine (PGM) Sequencer. You can also use the Qubit 3.0 Fluorometer to directly measure the fluorescence of samples or to create new assay(s) using the MyQubit software pre-programmed into the instrument. [Product Link]

Description:
We study the biological basis of diseases caused by microbes – whether it be a parasitic worm, a pathogenic bacterium, or a complex microbial community in the gut. Our group makes up the Center for Host-Microbial Interactions, at PennVet, and our research leverages a diverse skill set that cuts across the disciplines of genomics, microbiology and immunology. We engage in collaborative projects that benefit from close interactions with veterinarians and human clinicians alike. Our research embodies the idea of One-Health - that humans, animals and the environment are interconnected, and that we all live in a microbial world. We are located at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, in the Department of Pathobiology.
