BIOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORIES
The School hosts twelve well equipped and maintained laboratories for carrying out research work as well as routine practical. Departmental Biosafety Committee ensures the safety of students and researchers according to the guidelines provided by the School of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India. The School is also looking forward to the establishment of Institutional Ethical Committee to conduct research. Streamlined functioning, maintenance of equipment, timely ordering and procurement of chemicals and excellent laboratory support staff is a back bone of the research culture of the department. Other than the Central Instrumentation Laboratory, each laboratory is equipped with laminar air flow, cooling high speed centrifuge, electrophoresis units, pH meters, colorimeters, precision balance, incubators, auto claves, ovens and refrigerators.
Central Instrumentation Laboratory
The School has established Central Instrumentation Laboratory to facilitate research as well as routine practical. The laboratory harbors state of art indigenous and imported analytical instruments like Sorval C90 Ultra Centrifuge: Used here for the Isolation of sub cellular organelles and macro molecules.
Waters Gradient High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Used here for analysis of Anti oxidants and anti microbial molecules from plant extracts.
Chemito Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS): Used here for estimation of heavy metals from water bodies and industrial effluents. Chemito Gas Chromatography (GC): Used here for quantification of pesticide residues from fruits, vegetables, grains and processed food products.
Super Hit Rotary Vacuum Digital Bath: Used here for concentrating bio active compounds from various plant extracts. Bio-Rad Microplate reader: Used here for cell proliferation studies and immunological assays like ELISA.
UV Visible Spectrophotometer: Used here for various biochemical assays such as quantification of macromolecules. Bio-Rad Biological Duo Flow System: Used here to separate and purify protein and other polymers from complex systems
Promega DNA/RNA/Protein Isolation System: Used for DNA/RNA isolation and protein extraction and purification.
Syngene Gel Documentation Unit: Used for documentation and analysis of protein and nucleic acid gels Therrmocycler: Used for the amplification of gene
Other equipments in the central Instrumentation facility includes: Microprocessor based Cold Chamber, Deep Freezer (-60o C, -20 o C), Laminar Flow, Ultra filtration unit etc.
Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory
The School houses a well established plant tissue culture laboratory. The lab facilities include horizontal laminar flow for explants inoculation and controlled photoperiod and incubation room for culturing plant tissues. The lab is engaged in research on the conservation of endangered plants from Western Ghats, DNA barcoding and phytoremediation of textile dyes.
Animal Tissue Culture Laboratory
Animal tissue culture lab is a complete setup for routine culture and maintenance of normal and transformed cell lines. Culture work is carried out in type II Biosafety cabinets with provision for incubation in CO2 atmosphere. Monitoring of cell growth and morphology is carried out regularly using inverted microscope. The lab also has facilities for long term preservation of cell lines and other biological samples in liquid nitrogen (cryopreservation). The lab is engaged in the establishment of human keratinocyte culture for transplantation to burn patients at Dr. D. Y. Patil Hospital and Research center, Nerul. Work is also underway on the role of antioxidants in ameliorating the toxicity of anticancer drugs. The lab also maintains an independent research unit for doctoral students that houses a benchtop bioreactor for scale up studies.
