Equipment
  • Chemical hood (for work with toxic chemicals, such as Trizol or methanol)
  • Cryostat
  • Heating block (Can also use hybridisation oven for pre-warming pepsin.)
  • Hybridization oven
  • Brightfield microscope with camera we image using a 20x objective
  • Thermocycler
  • qPCR machine
  • Bluepippin or PippinHT (alternatively, manual run an agarose gel and cut band of desired size range to extract cDNA from)
  • Automated gel electrophoresis machine (eg. Tapestation or BioAnalyzer)
  • Qubit fluorometer (or alternative instrument for measuring DNA concentration)
  • 3D printer (If you don't have a 3D printer, you can check for 3D printing services near you)
