The Crystallography Core has acquired the TTP Labtech’s Dragonfly, a new, fast liquid handling system with disposable positive-displacement pipette tips that can handle any liquid-type independent of viscosity with no cross-contamination.

Established by the Fraternal Order of the Eagles Diabetes Research Center, the Metabolic Phenotyping Coreoffers an expanding repertoire of services for measuring metabolic output in cells and animals.

The new STED system attains resolution below the diffraction limit of regular fluorescence microscopy by using using a depletion laser to shrink the fluorescing area of a specimen.
