Campus Collaborations
In addition to the labs in Olin Hall, the Daniel Lab has access to these facilities.
Inverted Microscopes
The Daniel Lab has two Zeiss Axio Observer microscopes. One is outfitted with TIRF and a Hammamatsu Ocra II ER camera for total internal reflection microscopy. The other has a wavelength tunable laser for photobleaching experiments and fluorescence recovery.
The following articles cover the history and uses of FRAP.
Upright Microscope
The Zeiss Axioskop 40 and Hammamatsu ORCA CCD camera is for total internal reflection and general fluorescence studies.
Oxygen Plasma Cleaner and Deposition System
The Harrick oxygen plasma cleaner and deposition system is for surface modifications.
Biological Safety Cabinet
The Labconco safety cabinet is for virus work.
Chemical Fume Hood
The fume hood keeps us safe when working with chemicals.
Fluorimeter
The fluorimeter tracks fluorescence.
Dynamic Light Scattering
The Malvern Zetasizer measures particles and zeta potentials.
Deep Freezer
The VWR freezer cools samples to -80 F.
Wet Bench Space
Most of our work is done at the Wet Bench.
Smaller Instruments
The Daniel Lab has analytical balances, pH meters, and other small instruments. Among these is a Metrohm Autolab potentiometer which is for electrochemical research.
