The Hackett lab is equipped with different equipment to aid our cell culture work including Biosafety cabinet, CO2 incubators, centrifuges, cell counter, bead bath and others.
We also acquired specialized equipment that are available for our lab members and collaborators to use:
-
Flexcell tension system (FX- 5000)
Uses vacuum pressure to apply cyclic strain to cells, mimicking the strain applied during breathing.
-
Electric cell-substarte impedance sensing system (ECIS)
A real-time, label free, impedance-based method to study the activities of cells grown in tissue culture.
