Nanodrop (Nucleic Acid & Protein quantitation)

The Genomics Core does not have a Nanodrop; however, next door to this Core (in A624), there is a Thermo NanoDrop 2000 (micro-volume spectrophotometer) for use by members of the Department of Biological Sciences. Visit Common Room for a partial listing of additional equipment and restrictions upon its use.
