Linux Computer Cluster
To support the bioinformatics needs of its clients, EnGenCore offers customized data analysis using a Linux-based computer cluster consisting of sixty-four 2.2 GHz processors. Comprehensive base calling, sequence editing, contig assembly, genome assembly, gene mapping, and whole genome mapping is offered through the Phred, Phrap, Consed, Newbler, and FlowMapper software. Local copies of the NCBI and KEGG databases are routinely updated allowing fast BLAST homology searches for both large and small scale DNA sequencing projects using Paracel BLAST software.

Leica TCS SP5 Confocal Microscope
EnGenCore offers state-of-the-art imaging using the Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope. The TCS SP5 tandem scanner combines two technological solutions in one system: a conventional scanning system - ideal for morphological imaging and three dimensional structure analyses, and a resonant scanning system - the best solution for high speed confocal imaging. For demanding multiparameter fluorescence imaging, this microscope is equipped with high efficiency SP-detection (five channels simultaneously). The TCS SP5 also provides fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) capability.

Bruker Senterra Dispersive Raman Microscope
The Senterra is a full-featured confocal system that can accommodate multiple excitation wavelengths with the highest possible spatial resolution. This system is based on the Olympus BX51 optical microscope and contains all the necessary tools for sample visualization and characterization. The incorporated RamanScopeIII provides fluorescence-free, non-destructive Fourier transform Raman excitation to the same microscopic spot as the Senterra. This combination provides full spectroscopic characterization and optimizes the strengths of the both techniques for your complex micro-analysis samples.
