Common Equipment Room

A confocal microscopy system capable of high-sensitivity, high-speed, and super-resolution imaging. It is equipped with functions such as simultaneous multicolor imaging using spectral technology, tiling to stitch multiple images together, time-lapse for live imaging, an autofocus function, and 3D image construction.

This is a clean bench equipped with a low-pressure-drop HEPA filter, an all stainless steel (SUS-304) interior, a distributed suction system, and an air curtain mechanism.

This is an insulated aluminum cryopreservation container equipped with a monitoring device that uses ultrasound to detect the liquid nitrogen level.

This is an instrument that analyzes the characteristics of individual cells and particles and sorts specific cells by irradiating them with a laser beam as they flow in a liquid and measuring the resulting scattered light and fluorescence. It is equipped with five lasers and is capable of high-performance analysis and high-performance sorting.

It features excellent temperature uniformity, reaching ±0.4°C within 10 seconds of the target temperature, which enables uniform amplification regardless of well position. In the optical system, a shuttle equipped with six long-life LEDs and six photodiode detectors scans all wells. This design allows for efficient, high-sensitivity fluorescence detection with the shortest possible optical path and no crosstalk between wells. It supports the most common 96-well format and can perform up to five-color fluorescence detection.

This is a droplet generation instrument for performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and scATAC-seq. It enables various analyses at the single-cell level, including gene expression analysis, epigenome analysis, and repertoire analysis of lymphocyte antigen receptors.

This benchtop shaker is stackable up to two units and can be used for high-speed shaking applications, including the cultivation of animal cells, yeast, and bacteria such as *E. coli*. The computer-controlled temperature can be set in 0.1°C increments from 20°C below ambient (to a minimum of 4°C) to 80°C, making it suitable for culturing a wide variety of cells.

A Class II, Type A2 biological safety cabinet. It is equipped with a low-pressure-loss HEPA filter and has a stainless steel interior. The cabinet offers 99.99% particle collection efficiency and meets Class 100 cleanliness standards. An inverter-controlled fan motor and an air velocity sensor enable automatic fan speed control to consistently maintain a stable and appropriate airflow balance.

This CO2 incubator allows for temperature settings from 5°C above ambient to 50°C and CO2 concentration settings from 0% to 20%.

This instrument is designed for the cultivation of anaerobic microorganisms. The temperature-controlled incubator is separated from the main chamber by a door, allowing users to work at room temperature within the chamber.

Maximum speed: 80,000 rpm; maximum centrifugal acceleration: 615,000 × g. Temperature setting range: 0–40°C; features thermoelectric module cooling.

By observing the magnetic resonance of 1H, 13C, and 15N nuclei within molecules in a solution, information can be obtained about the electronic states surrounding the nuclei and their chemical bonds. For instance, because atoms of the same element in different positions within a molecule generate distinct NMR signals, the primary feature of this technique is the ability to distinguish, observe, and analyze each individual atom. Analysis of NMR spectra enables structural analysis at the atomic level, such as determining the structure of synthetic compounds and natural products, analyzing the three-dimensional structure of proteins, and examining intermolecular interactions and molecular dynamics.

This instrument is primarily used to obtain information about the hydrogen and carbon atoms within compounds. It is the most important instrument for confirming and determining the structure of organic compounds.

This instrument provides information on molecular mass and molecular formulas through low- and high-resolution mass measurements.

A Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. This instrument uses a corner-cube mirror for the moving mirror within the interferometer, which is digitally controlled. It allows for a wide range of measurements, from the near-infrared to the far-infrared regions.

This instrument easily performs low-resolution mass measurements (sample introduction via GC only). It is used to obtain information on molecular mass.

A versatile, high-resolution, and high-accuracy mass spectrometer. It combines Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI), capable of ionizing a wide range of analytes, with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer, which offers a broad mass measurement range.

A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. This instrument enables high-speed, high-sensitivity quantification; rapid, simultaneous multi-component analysis; and concurrent qualitative and quantitative analysis.
