It purifies water by removing more than 99.9% of contaminants, including chemicals, heavy metals, microorganisms, and sediment, via double distillation process. It consists of a boiling chamber, a cooling system, and a separate storage tank. Contact: Prof. Ramesh Sonti.

The BSL2 plus facility is used to culture avirulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is equipped with a biosafety cabinet, centrifuge, incubator, and plate reader. Contact: Dr. Raju Mukherjee

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
