Program Overview

University Program Details

The university program is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including:

• Filtering fume hood: a device that filters fumes, odors, and particulates, and recirculates the air to the laboratory
  • This is done by moving air through carbon filters that capture dangerous particles
• CO2 incubator: a device designed to provide a natural environment for cells and their cultivation
  • It controls physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, and oxygen levels to achieve optimal growth and development of cells
• ELISA reader: an instrument used to read a fluorescent, chemical, or chromosomal response
  • The instrument is designed to fit standard 96-position plates
• Fluorescent microscope: an optical microscope that uses fluorescence instead of, or in addition to, scattering, reflection, attenuation, or absorption
  • It is used to study the properties of organic or inorganic materials
• Biosafety cabinet: an essential engineering control used to protect personnel from biological or infectious agents
  • It helps maintain control of the quality of working materials while filtering both airflow and exhaust
• Centrifuge: a device that uses centrifugal force to separate materials of different density
  • It is used to remove moisture or simulate the effects of gravity
• High-speed mini-centrifuge: a small-sized desktop centrifuge designed for biomedical laboratories
  • It is used for RNA/DNA sample extraction, biological component deposition, chemical and biochemical analysis of microscopic samples
• PCR: a device used for the amplification of fragments of DNA by polymerase chain reaction
• Gel electrophoresis: a device containing an agglutinating gel and a dissolving gel
  • The stacking gel concentrates the proteins loaded into the well so that the proteins can begin to migrate at the same time
  • After stacking, the precision gel separates proteins based on molecular size
• Electrophoresis unit: a submersible unit dielectric chamber
  • It is designed to operate gels or polyacrylamide gels immersed in a working insulator
  • Samples are introduced into an electric field and will migrate to the anode or cathode depending on their intrinsic charge
• Magnetic Particle Processor: an instrument used to purify DNA, RNA, and proteins, and isolate certain types of cells
  • It uses magnetic bead technology and can accommodate a variety of sample types, such as blood, plant tissue, and cell culture
• Flourometer: an instrument used to measure the amount of protein, DNA, and RNA
  • It uses highly sensitive quantitative digital tests
• VWR centrifuge: a high-speed microcentrifuge capable of high-speed performance up to 15,500 rpm/16,100°Xg
• Sensitive balance: a sensitive scale
• Hotplate Stirrer: a device used to mix and heat aqueous solutions for a large variety of chemical reactions
• PH meter: an instrument used to measure pH levels
• Microwave oven: a device used to heat and cook samples
• Rocker-shaker: a device that works with horizontal vibrations for a period of time that can be adjusted
  • It can adjust the strength and angle of the vibration
• Vacuum pump: a compressor that takes gas at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, compresses it, and discharges it at atmospheric pressure
• Dry heat oven: a device used to dry and heat samples
• Liquid nitrogen: a substance used to keep biological samples at a temperature as low as -196 degrees Celsius
• UV gel documentation system: a system used for imaging and documenting nucleic acids and proteins suspended in agarose or polyacrylamide stained gels with fluorine
• Vortex: a device used to mix small bottles of liquid
