Service: for students and researchers

 

We support standard courses for students of the Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics on basic techniques of cell culture, as well as individual studies and series of experiments approved by tutors. Selected students can also work under our tutorship.

 

Researchers are invited to use our facilities to carry out experiments on cell cultures (see contacts). We can provide and/or maintain cell lines, a working area in our sterile operating room, help in organization of culture facilities in user's laboratory, or take a part in a research project of our client on a basis of mutual agreement. Besides standard equipment for cell culture (like CO₂-incubator and safety cabinet), the user can find within our Laboratory Building Б fluorescent and confocal lazer scanning microscopes equipped with color camera of high resolution, flow cytofluorimeter/sorter, magnetic resonance tomograph, and other unique and expensive devices available for customers as a part of service or on a basis of scientific collaboration.

 

All users of our sterile operating room should discuss their plans with Dr.Kuimov and every Monday point out in a logbook when they work in safety cabinets during a week and what is placed within our incubators. We are not licensed to work with any human viruses or other microorganisms dangerous for personnel. Any bacteria and fungi are strongly prohibited. Every dish, flask or plate with signs of bacterial contamination is to be immediately exterminated by owner or personnel. Cryobiological storage is available every Wednesday at 4PM. Customers are also advised to store backups of their preparations in Cell Banks.
