Research equipment
Fission yeast cells on the agar plate and in the liquid medium
Micro tube and micro pipette
The main instrument for handling DNA, protein etc.
Incubators
Centrifuge
Fluorescence microscope
Used for observation of cellular molecules labeled by fluorescence dyes or GFP (green fluorescence protein). The stage and CCD camera are controlled by the computer, so it provides three dimensional and time laps observation.
Tetrad manipulator
Used for genetic analysis of fission yeast.
HPLC (high-pressure liquid chromatography) mass spectrometer
Main equipment for proteome analysis.
Hybrid HPLC-Fourier transform ion-trap mass spectrometer (Orbitrap)
Main equipment for metabolome analysis.
FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorter)
For estimation of DNA contents in the cells and determination of cell cycle stage.
