Lab. 1, Cell and Molecular Biology and Histopathology

Laboratory description


Lab.1, provides advanced conditions for the discovery and characterization of new molecules with biological activity. It is equipped with a cabinet for DNA/RNA UVCT/T-M-AR, CFX96Touch RT-PCR Detection System, Flow Hood, Multi-Mode Microplate reader, electrophoresis systems, transfer systems (TransBlot Turbo), transilluminators (ChemiDoc) and NanoDrop. The Histopathology is equipped with specialized instruments and equipment designed for the processment and analysis of histological samples. This includes a tissue processor, embedding system, microtome, cytocentrifuges, analytical balances, and microscopes coupled to high-resolution cameras.
