It is our suggestion to the biotech students to check the minimum infrastructure for their quality learning in any institute / training company etc for their project work or summer training in the concert areas of life science.
Basic Infrastructure for Molecular Biology Lab
- Thermo Cycler : For Amplification of Nucleic Acids
- Spectrophotometer : For Quality Check of DNA or RNA
- Colorimeter
- Gel Documentation System with Gel Analysis Software : Required for analysis of Nucleic Acids
- Refrigerated High Speed Centrifuge : Isolation of DNA or RNA
- Ultra High Speed Centrifuge : RNA Isolation
- Mini Centrifuges
- Electrophoresis Units : Horizontal & Vertical
- E-Blotter
- Power Supply ( with variable voltage & current )
- Dry Bath
- Water Bath
- Sonicator
- Vortex , Magnetic Stirrer , Gel Dryer , Auto Pipettes etc
Basic Infrastructure for Immunology
- Good Bio safety Cabinet
- Immuno Electrophoresis
- ELISA Reader & Washer
- Fluorescence / phase contract / Bright field Microscope
Basic Infrastructure for Proteomics or Enzymology or Chromatography Techniques
- Gel Filtration Chromatography ( Robotic Liquid Handling System is required ) : avoid basic glass columns
- Ion Exchange Chromatography
- Affinity Chromatography
- HPLC
- Spectrophotometer
- Digital Analytical Balance
- Microprocessor based Ph Meter
- Vacuum Rotary Evaporator with chiller
- 4 Degree scientific purpose refrigerator
- Wrist watch Shaking Equipment

- Plant Growth Chamber
Basic Questions to be asked by the students for quality training :
1. What cenrifugation systems are available for isolation of DNA or RNA ?
2. Which software is available in your gel doc system for the analysis of DNA ?
3. How we will check the quality of DNA / RNA ?
4. How we will set a program in PCR for specific activity ?
5. Do you have quality variable power pack for electrophoresis ?
6. Which chromatography columns are supposed to be used in purification of proteins ?
7. Is there individual handling for us ?
Note : Without the above mentioned infrastructure , no quality training may be given in the concern area of Life Science.
