Agilent Intuvo 9000 Gas Chromatograph System
A gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry machine is available in our Unit premises (Agilent Ntuvo 9000 GC-MS).
Access to other equipment such as ion chromatograph (IC), UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, GC/FID, and HPLC/UV is available at collaborators’ laboratories on campus.
Agilent Sample
Prep Automated Platform
An Agilent robotic sample preparation system is also available in the Unit.
Thermo Icp-ms
Mass Spectrometer
Access to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) (Thermo XSeries 2, Thermo Scientific, Germany).
Biotage Automated Solid Phase Extraction System
The laboratory houses both environmental and biological samples preparation equipment such as liquid-liquid (LLE) and solid phase (SPE) extraction set-up (Biotage off-line automated module), solvent evaporator (N-EVAP 111, Nitrogen evaporator, Organomation Associates Inc., USA).
Specialized Lyophilizer
A specialised lyophilizer is also available for the cryo preparation and drying treatment of biosamples.
long term storage facility of human biospecimen
Long term storage facilities for human biological samples is achieved with an ultra-low temperature freezer that operates between -50 and -86 °C and 668 liters storage capacity (Sanyo, MDF-U7386S), and two refrigerators that operates between 4 to -20 °C (Liebherr Premium and Samsung). Short-term storage of samples at lower temperatures is attained using ice chests during field/site collection and transportation.
