Microbiology & Biotechnology Laboratory

The microbiology and biotechnology lab is a cutting-edge facility where students explore the fascinating world of microorganisms and their applications. Equipped with advanced equipment such as microscopes, autoclaves, hot air oven, BOD incubator, bacteriological incubator, centrifuge, water bath, pH meter, UV – Visible spectrophotometer, colony counter, colorimeter, UV trans-illuminator, laminar air flow, and the lab enables students to conduct experiments and research in microbiology, genetic engineering, bioinformatics and biotechnology. Here, students learn various techniques, including microbial culturing, DNA extraction, biochemical estimation, cell & molecular biology, bioinformatics tools gaining hands-on experience in a sterile and controlled environment. Bioinformatics tools (BLAST, MEGA, ClustalW, AutoDock) and programming languages (Perl, Python), with access to major databases (NCBI, UniProt, PDB, KEGG) and e-learning platforms are available for the students. Technical staff provides support in a conducive learning environment. The laboratories are well equipped with all the facilities to help students in developing skills in aseptic techniques, microbial identification, and biotechnological applications, preparing students for careers in research, healthcare, and industry.
