Spectroscopy
- Multimodal microplate reader equipped with injectors
- Circular dichorism (CD) spectroscopy instrument
- Stopped-flow kinetics
Molecular binding and calorimetry
- Monolith NT.LabelFree microscale thermophoresis instrument
- Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) instrument
- Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) instrument
X-ray protein crystallography

The MicroTime 200 confocal fluorescence microscope is capable of single-molecule detection.
The microscope is equipped with two picosecond pulsed lasers (520/640 nm) and four SPAD-detectors, that together allow a wide range of experiments and multi-parameter analysis to be performed including:
- FRET
- distance distributions
- fluorescence lifetimes
- fluorescence lifetime imaging
- anisotropy measurements
- fluorescence correlation spectroscopy
- and much more
