Laboratory equipment

Our microbiology laboratories are licensed to work with pathogenic microorganisms in accordance with the German Biomaterial Regulation (protection level 2). Under the German Genetic Engineering Act our laboratories are classed as S1 for work with GMO. We also have an anaerobic chamber to handle strictly anaerobic bacteria, as well as a cell culture laboratory.
