The Whitley anaerobic sleeve box is used for the long-term maintenance of samples in an anaerobic atmosphere with a hydrogen content of 5%. It is suitable for culturing anaerobic microorganisms at laboratory or elevated temperatures (up to 58°C).

Documentation system for acrylamide and agarose gels, blotting membranes (chemiluminescence, fluorescence)

Separation of biomolecules with subsequent detection and quantification.

Analysis of the physiological state, or quantification, of plants and their parts, lichens, algae or cyanobacteria based on time-resolved chlorophyll fluorescence, both in the laboratory and in the field.

DNA sequencing

Inverted fluorescence microscope - analysis of live and fixed cells

Industrial production of nanofibers

Fluorescence microscope used mainly for determination of drinking water quality (determination of biosestone ČSN 75 7712 and determination of abiosestone ČSN 75 7713). It can be used to analyse native slides in transmitted light and native and other samples with autofluorescence or fluorescence staining. Image capture with a Canon EOS 70D colour camera is possible. Evaluation or modification of the captured images is performed in QuickPHOTO MICRO 3.1

Material microscope, which can be used to analyse samples in reflected light, dark or bright field with the possibility of using U-AN360 or U-PO3 filters. Image capture with Canon EOS 700D camera is possible. Evaluation or modification of the captured images is performed in QuickPHOTO MICRO 3.1

Measures the amount of cDNA or mRNA in a sample, either from a population of cells or a single cell

Used in the detection of pathogens in the blood such as viruses

Measurement of nucleotide sequencing in molecules of nucleotide acids

Plate spectrophotometer for quantification of molecules and analysis of biochemical processes

Photoreactor for standard photocatalytic activity tests (ISO 27447:2019) and other photocatalytic experiments. The photoreactor allows the connection of 1-10 Philips TL 8W BLB G5 fluorescent lamps and the plate carrying the lamps can be placed in 12 positions, providing a range of radiation intensity from 50 to 1500µW/cm2. The semi-matt glass transmits UV-A radiation with a frosted top side ensuring even dispersion of the radiation. Samples can be orbitally shaken or left at rest during the experiment.

Real-time toxicity evaluation of in vitro materials

Fluorescence microscope that can analyze native slides in transmitted light and analyze native and other autofluorescent or fluorescently stained samples. It is possible to capture images using a colour camera (AxioCam ICc 1) or a black and white camera (AxioCam 705 mono). Evaluation or modification of the acquired images is performed in ZEN3.4 (blue edition).
