Jasco J-1500 Circular Dichroism

Location: Brown 357

The Jasco J-1500 Circular Dichroism spectrometer is generally considered an essential tool for the secondary structure analysis of peptides/proteins and  nucleic acids. In addition, it can be used to follow the changes in folding as a function of temperature and is also useful for measuring protein-ligand and nucleic acid-ligand interactions.

Our CD instrument covers a wavelength range from 163 to 950 nm and includes features such as:

    • an automated and thermostat six-sample holder
    • a micro sampling disk (1-2 μL extremely low sample volume)
    • sample temperature range from -40 °C to +130 °C

Additionally, we have an ExPMT module for extended wavelength from 450 to 1250 nm and a Fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) PMT detector.

The Jasco J-1500 Circular Dichroism spectrometer was acquired through the support of New York University.
