Microplate Reader

BioTek -Synergy H1 is a multimode reader for 6- to 384-well microplates and Take3 microvolume plates. The unique dual optics design provides superior performance for UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence workflows.

Biosafety Cabinet

Esco Airstream Class II BSC is critical for providing personal protection while handling biohazardous agents and ensures the quality control of materials by filtering the inflow and exhaust air, as well as including a UV lamp for decontamination.

Autoclave

The autoclave decontaminates certain biological waste and sterilizes media, instruments, and labware. It contributes to sterilizing seawater, media, and glassware to successfully support the growth of microalgae.

Rotary Evaporator

The rotary evaporator plays a key role in sample preparation by evaporating the solvent from the extracted material. This process is particularly useful in oil extraction from algae, where the solvent is evaporated to concentrate the oil.

Automated Colony Counter

Symbiosis ProtoCOL 3 is the next generation instrument for Automatic colony counting, zone measurements (inhibition and antibiotic susceptibility testing)

Microtome

Semi-Automatic CUT 5062 carefully slices samples into ultra-thin sections, which are then mounted on slides for detailed examination under a microscope.

Microscopy

Zeiss Axio ImagerD2 is designed for transmitted-light bright-field microscopy and is equipped with HBO illumination and specialized filters.

Plant Growth Chamber

The growth chamber is critical for controlling plant and algae growth conditions, It provides humidity, light, temperature, and adequate space.

Liquid Nitrogen Freezer

Thermo Cryoplus1 is used to freeze biological material in extremely cold temperatures.
