DNA electrophoresis: Pre-amplified DNA is separated and visualized on a self-casted agarose gel.Protein crystals of insulin: Insulin is a essential hormone of our metabolism.Crystallized thaumatin: Thaumatin is a natural sweetener. It's up to 3000 times sweeter than sugar.X-ray diffraction pattern of protein crystals: Diffraction of highly brilliant synchrotron radiation on protein crystals is used to solve the 3D-structures of former crystallized proteins.Nanoscale droplet arrays on glas: Droplet-based protein or DNA arrays help to get insights into expression levels of a certain tissue sample.Volume gradient array on transparent polymers: Modern technology allows precise structering of liquids down to the low pl-range.Raster electron microscopy of Aspergillus niger:A. niger is a well known, black mold fungus producing a couple of mycotoxines.Close up raster electron image of A. niger: A single sporangia of a A. niger sample is magnified by more detailed scanning.Protein electron density map during structure determination: Atomic structures of proteins are solved from X-ray diffraction data obtained from protein crystals.Random mutagenesis for functional analysis of a protein: A DNA sequence or gene encoding a protein of interest is modified by a error prone PCR protocol. Effects of certain mutations analysed by sequencing is coupled to the expression of another, fluorescent protein.
Raster electron microscopy of Penecillium chrysogenum: Everybody knows penecillin,the first antibiotic extracted from P. chrysogenum by A. Flemming.Light microscopy of Lactobacillus brevis:L. brevis is a none pathogen lactic acid bacteria of 2-9 µm in length.Liht microscopy of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: The beer & bread yeast. S. cerevisiae is probably the most and longest used microorganism in biotechnology production.Protein crystalliaztion in a micro-droplet: Precise handling of tiny volumes allowes for the development of new applications and massively scale-up.
