Schizosaccharomyces Pombe

Research equipment

Fission yeast on the agar plate and in the liquid medium
Agar Plate Liquid Medium
Micro tube and micro pippet
Micro tube Micro pippet
The main instrument for handling DNA, protein etc.
Incubator
Incubator
Incubator
Centrifuge
Centrifuge
Fluorescence microscope
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.
Manipulator
Manipulator
Used for genetic analysis of fission yeast.
HPLC (high-pressure liquid chromatography) mass spectrometer
HPLC-MS
Main equipment for proteomic analysis that identifies and quantifies proteins in the cells.
Hybrid HPLC-Fourier transform ion-trap mass spectrometer
LC-FT-MS
Main equipment for metabolome analysis.
FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorter)
FACS
For estimation of DNA contents in the cells and determination of cell cycle stage.
