C-Trap installed!

Monday, November 7, 2022

cool knot still

An IU team led by the Bochman lab was awarded an S10 High-End Instrumentation grant from the National Institutes of Health for the purchase of a Q-Trap from LUMICKS.  This device combines microfluidics with confocal microscopy and four laser traps to enable single-molecule biochemistry experiments.  The Q-Trap was recently installed, and seven students and PIs were trained to use it to study protein-nucleic acid interactions.  The attached image shows DNAs tethered to trapped beads which were tied into a knot using the Q-trap.
