Home Page > Keck Facility Description
PSU-Keck Genomics Facility was designed and built as a shared cooperative
resource for members of the Center for Life in Extreme Environments (CLEE) and
the Biology Department. This facility provides instrumentation for DNA
microarray technology, DNA sequence analysis, equipment available for
high-throughput genomic analysis, and equipment for hybridization of microarrays.
The PSU-Keck Genomics Facility was made possible through a grant from the
W.M Keck Foundation and is currently operated on a cost-recovery basis.
A brief summary of the Keck Laboratory:
Provides instrumentation for DNA microarray technology utilizing the GeneMachines OmniGrid Accent Custom microarray printer and the GenePix 4000B microarray scanner from Axon Instruments.
Utilizes the 3100 Avant Genetic Analyzer from Applied Biosystems for DNA sequence analysis.
Equipment available for high-throughput genomic analysis includes: four ABI GeneAmp 2700 PCR machines, a CBS PCR setup hood, a ThermoSavant SC210A Speedvac with microtiter plate rotors, an Eppendorf 5810R microcentrifuge with microtiter plate rotors, large scale agarose gel electrophoresis capabilities, and equipment for hybridization of microarrays.
