    Allow me to translate:

    Top left is a thermal cycler. Basically it heats and cools samples at a given rate. This is primarily used for for magic. Top right is the fancier version of this, it is for qMagic, so it can do the heating and cooling and has a magic detector for magic components that reacts to magic happening so you can quantify approximately how much magic is going on in the beige box.

    Bottom right is a luminex. This uses detection of magic signals to measure magic.

    Bottom left is the beige box where magic happens.

  Top left is the CFX96/384, which is also a qPCR instrument.

  Bottom left is the 3500 Genetic Analyzer, as someone identified. It’s used for sanger sequencing I believe. My last lab had one but I was never trained on it.

    I thought it was just their T100, the CFX96s I’ve used don’t have the touchscreen but yeah the bigger “lid” does look like for the CFX.

  I know nothing about this kind of lab equipment but Google says the bottom left device is a human DNA sequencer, ABI model 3500.
