Laboratories

Laboratory of molecular systematics

We are capable to make common operation e.g. isolation, electrophoresis, concentration measurment, quantification and hybridization of DNA, RNA and proteins as well as amplification DNA and RNA, cloning of DNA fragments in bacteria, C0t analysis, etc... and we have appropriate equipment. We have also a GMO laboratory with certificate of the Ministry of Environment.
