Lab 107:
Most of our work happens lab 107, in a biological safety II laboratory. Contact Prof. Melinda Duer, Rakesh Rajan, or Dr Uliana Bashtanova for lab-related enquiries.
The lab features all the equipement required to do cell culture and assays, including:
- A Class II biological safety cabinet
- A Leica DMi1 inverted microscope operating at x5, x10, and x20 magnification
- A 165L MCO-170AIC-PE IncuSafe CO2 incubator
- A FLUOstar omega microplate reader
- A Virtis Wizard 2.0 freeze dryer
- A microtome
- Bench centrifuges
The lab also features a small fumehood and some equipment to do simple chemical syntheses.
Lab 111:
We are in the process of setting up a new cell culture lab that will allows us to increase our capacity to do research.
It is equipped with:
- A Class II biological safety cabinet
- EVSO XL core inverted microscope
- A 165L MCO-170AIC-PE IncuSafe CO2 incubator
- Bench centrifuges
- A stereomicroscope
The lab also features a small fumehood and some equipment to do simple chemical syntheses.
MPACC:
Our group also routinely use the Molecular Production and Characterisation Centre (MPACC) facility where a wide range of spectroscopic instruments can be found (CD, fluorescence, absorbance), a cold room, and facilities for cryogenic storage (liquid nitrogen and -80ºC freezer).
