Equipment

The research performed in the Department of Physiological Chemistry centres around the pathobiochemistry of membrane and protein transport, and infection biochemistry. The department utilises state of the art equipment including:

• Confocal lasers canning microscope (Leica TCS SP5 AOBS with Tandem-Scanner and climatic chamber, Leica TCS SP2)
• Surface plasmon resonance (Biacore 3000)
• Real time PCR (Smart cycler II)
• ChemiDoc and GelDoc
• FemtoJet Micro injector
• Electrophoresis chambers for isoelectric focusing (2-D gels)
• High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
• Gas chromatography (GC)
• Thin layer chromatography (TLC)
• Cell culture
• Radioactive laboratory
• Ultracentrifuges
• Spectrophotometer
• Fluorometer
• Stopped-flow-spectrometer
• Hypoxia chamber
