Microtome (cryostat)
For histopathological studies, this device freezes samples to low temperature (upto -35 ℃) to obtain tissue sections ranging from 1 to 100 μm thickness. This device bypass the need of embedding material prior to sectioning of samples. Contact person: Dr. Vasudharani Devanathan
Ultrapure Water Purification Systems
To generate ultra pure water (Type 1 water) of 18.2 MΩ.cm resistance to be used in molecular Biology applications such as PCR, sequencing and for mammalian cell culture. Type 2 water is also generated from the system used in buffer preparation. Contact: Dr. Suchi Goel
Multicolour Flow Cytometer
The BD FACS Celesta can rapidly and accurately quantify and analyze many kinds of cells, including animal cells, yeast cells, plant cells etc. Contact: Dr. Sivakumar Vallabhapurapu
Gel Imaging System Make:UVITEC, Cambridge Model: UVI Doc HD5
Gel Imaging or Gel Documentation system is used to capture digital images of electrophoresis agarose gels in order to obtain a visual record of the experimental results. Contact: Dr. Eswarayya Rami Reddy
Real-Time PCR Systems Model No: CFX Connect Thermal Cycler (96 well and 384 well plates) Make: Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA.
This Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machine is used to monitor the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR (in real time), not at its end, as in conventional PCR. Contact: Dr. Sivakumar Vallabhapurapu, Dr. Suchi Goel.

Plant Signaling Group (Swarup Roy Choudhury)
We are interested in identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind signal transduction in plants to unravel plant signaling pathways extending from receptors to signaling cascades and target genes that are crucial to root nodule development, plant architecture determination and stress adaptation. The important questions are: How signaling is initiated by receptor-like kinases and which… Continue reading Plant Signaling Group (Swarup Roy Choudhury)
