This facility is mainly used for the regeneration of plants using tissue culture based methods. It has a biosafety cabinet, and tissue culture Rack with a digital photoperiod timer. Contact: Dr. Eswarayya Rami Reddy, Dr. Swarup Roy Choudhury, Dr. Annapurna Devi Allu.

For histopathological studies, this device freezes samples to low temperature (upto -35 ℃) to obtain tissue sections ranging from 1 to 100 μm thickness. This device bypass the need of embedding material prior to sectioning of samples. Contact person: Dr. Vasudharani Devanathan

To generate ultra pure water (Type 1 water) of 18.2 MΩ.cm resistance to be used in molecular Biology applications such as PCR, sequencing and for mammalian cell culture. Type 2 water is also generated from the system used in buffer preparation. Contact: Dr. Suchi Goel

The BD FACS Celesta can rapidly and accurately quantify and analyze many kinds of cells, including animal cells, yeast cells, plant cells etc. Contact: Dr. Sivakumar Vallabhapurapu

Gel Imaging or Gel Documentation system is used to capture digital images of electrophoresis agarose gels in order to obtain a visual record of the experimental results. Contact: Dr. Eswarayya Rami Reddy

This Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machine is used to monitor the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR (in real time), not at its end, as in conventional PCR. Contact: Dr. Sivakumar Vallabhapurapu, Dr. Suchi Goel.
