Nanodrop Spectrophotometer
The NanoDrop® ND-1000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer enables highly accurate analyses of 1 ul samples with remarkable reproducibility. The patented sample retention system eliminates the need for cuvettes and capillaries which decreases the measurement cycle time. In addition, the high absorbance capability eliminates the need for most dilutions.

Computer Workstations
One key aspect of microbiome research is that it is very computationally intensive. To assist users to meet this challenge we have set up workstations computers with software to analyze T-RFLP, Clone Library and Microbiological Community data. Available software includes Peak Scanner (a replacement for GeneScan when analyzing T-RFLP files), R, DOTUR, SONS, Treeclimber, S-Libshuff and K9 an in-house designed data analysis toolbox. Additional methods of analysis are frequently updated as the needs of our users expand.
