Technology
A molecular biology technique used to detect the interaction of a DNA binding protein with its cognate binding sequence. Labeled DNAs were reacted with crude cell extracts and the complexes are run through a non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel. The migration of the labeled DNA through the gel will be slower by being bound. This shift in electrophoretic mobility indicates functional binding between the protein and the DNA.
Technology
A procedure used in mass spectrometry analysis. Means of delivering nonvolatile analytes into the gas phase for mass analysis. Best used on molecules which are charged in solution or readily accept a charge. Particularly well suited to the analysis of biomolecules. Can be used to probe tertiary structure and non-covalent interactions (from NCSU Mass Spectrometry Facility web site)
Technology
A highly sensitive technique for detecting and measuring antigens or antibodies in a solution; the solution is run over a surface to which immobilized antibodies specific to the substance have been attached, and if the substance is present, it will bind to the antibody layer, and its presence is verified and visualized with an application of antibodies that have been tagged in some way.

Technology
A type of homogenous immunoassay in which sample is applied to a reagent mixture of enzyme-labeled ligand, antibody, and substrate. Substrate binding to enzyme leads to inactivation and unlabeled-ligand in the sample can be quantified by colorimetric analysis.
Technology
A method to determine microbial susceptibility to antibiotics in which a plastic strip impregnated with the antibiotic of interest is placed on an agar plate that has been inoculated with bacteria. The antibiotic diffuses from the strip producing a concentration gradient of drug on the agar. The point at which the elliptical shaped area of growth inhibition meets the strip is the minimum inhibitory concentration of the drug of interest.
Technology
A technique for counting, examining and sorting microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid.
Technology
A physical mapping approach that uses fluorescent tags to detect hybridization of probes within metaphase chromosomes or less condensed somatic interphase chromatin. This technique can be used for identification of chromosomal abnormalities and for gene mapping.
Technology
A technique in which samples that either contain fluorescent compounds or are stained with fluorescent dyes are exposed to a wavelength of light that excites the fluorophore, allowing for an image to be captured by a microscope.
Technology
An immunoassay in which a fluorescent tracer is used to detect an analyte of interest by triggering the emission of photons when subjected to polarized light.
Technology
Fluorescent spectroscopy or fluorometry is a type of electromagnetic spectroscopy used for analyzing fluorescent spectra. It involves using a beam of light, usually ultraviolet light, that excites the electrons in molecules of certain compounds and causes them to emit light of a lower energy, typically, but not necessarily, visible light.
Technology
An immunological procedure in which the antibodies are coupled with molecules which fluoresce under ultra violet (UV) light. This makes them particularly suitable for detection of specific antigens in tissues or on cells.
