PRL Procedures
PRL IT Support
Email plnthelp@msu.edu for help with IT issues. This new system will allow the PRL to integrate more efficiently with MSU central IT.
Imager Booking
The ChemiDoc MP system is a fully featured instrument for gel or western blot imaging, designed to address multiplex fluorescent western blotting, chemiluminescence detection, and general gel documentation applications.
Trichromatic Chambers
Three small Trichromatic Percival chambers (A, B & C) are available for use by researchers. These chambers have red, far red and blue light capabilities. These are small, bench top chambers that offer just a single shelf of space for plants or plates. Space is limited, and must be booked in advance, with a limit of 90 days per reservation. These chambers are located in room 225 of Plant Biology Building.
Cold Chambers
Two Percival chambers (Cold Temp A & B), that are outfitted with dual compressors which can maintain consistent temperatures as low as 4C for months, have been brought online for researchers to perform cold condition experiments only. Each chamber shelf supplies standard lighting conditions of ~100uE. Space is limited, and must be booked in advance, with a limit of 90 days per reservation. These chambers are located in the basement of Plant Biology Building near the elevator.
