LABORATORY  INFRASTRUCTURE
State of art research laboratories and teaching facilities are important features of the school so that the students have a hands-on experience of all the modern spheres of biotechnology. Initially, the school is having five laboratories.
 

Microbiology Laboratory
Work involving isolation, purification, characterization and identification of   microorganisms, microbial production of industrial products, optimization of   fermentation process, strain improvement etc. are conducted.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology laboratory
DNA isolation, purification, construction of recombinant molecules,  transformation, cloning, gene isolation, PCR amplification, identification and   expression are regularly conducted in this laboratory.

Chemistry Laboratory (I and II)
Studies on natural and synthetic bioactive molecules involving their synthesis/isolation, purification, characterization and identification using chromatography, IR, mass spectra, NMR are routinely carried out.

General Biotechnology Laboratory
In this laboratory practicals concerning basic genetics, biochemistry, microbiology and general biology are conducted.

Sr. Microbiology Laboratory
In this laboratory basic microbiology practical are conducted such as identification of strains, primary screening ,secondary screening of molecules.

Sr. Molecular Biology Laboratory
The techniques covered in this lab include DNA isolation, Agarose gel electrophoresis, Bacterial transformation, Polymerase chain reaction, Restriction digest analysis, Gene cloning and Heterologous expression. Protein isolation , purification and Profiling is also being carried out  in this lab. The work done includes  exploring the microbial diversity for novel industrial enzymes using Culture dependent and Metagenomic tools.

Bio-Informatics Lab.
The centre is equipped with state-of-art softwares and other infrastructure required for advanced  genomics and proteomics work.

Tissue Culture Lab.
This laboratory is created for conducting experimentations in Plant Tissue Culture Techniques: Morphogenesis, Regeneration via different developmental pathways, cell suspension cultures, protoplast isolation and culture, and hardening of tissue cultured plants. Experiments are in progress for developing micropropagation systems for mass multiplication of Medicinal and Aromatic plants and enhancement of Secondary Metabolites in vitro in selected Medicinal Plants

Cold Room
Cold room used for  preservation of cultures and chemicals in the school of Biotechnology.
