Our lab is fully equipped for molecular biology, protein chemistry and environmental biotechnology studies. Some of the equipments available:

Basic laboratory equipments, e.g. balance and microbalance, bench-top centrifuges, 4°C refrigerator, -20°C and -80°C freezers, incubators.

The specialised equipments available in our lab:

1. Ultralow temperature incubator (-10 to 50°C)
2. Low temperature incubator (15 to 50°C).
3. Biological safety cabinet.
4. Qiagen TissueLyser II, for high throughput sample disruption.
5. Abnova Precipitor, for protein immunoprecipitation.
6. Eppendorf Concentrator plus, for vacuum concentration of DNA/RNA, protein, and other liquid samples.

We are also a regular user of shared-facilities available at the Faculty, which include:

1. ÄKTAprime plus protein purification system.
2. ÄKTA pure protein purification system.
3. Jasco J-1500 Circular Dichroism spectropolarimeter, for protein secondary structure determination.
4. QSonica Probe ultrasonicator, for cell lysis.
5. Malvern Microcal PEAQ Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC), for protein-protein interaction studies.
6. Agilent 7890B Gas Chromatography-Thermal Conductivity Detector System, for biogas analysis.
7. Beckman Coulter Avanti J-30I centrifuge.
8. NanoDrop 1000, for DNA and protein concentration determination.
9. GenePulser electroporator, for cell transformation via electroshock treatment.
