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

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.
