Lab facilties for molecular biology and organic/inorganic analytical chemistry

Molecular biology

• Pathogen identification

• (meta)genomics, proteomics, metabolomics

• eDNA

• water, plant and substrate analysis

Facilities

• Microbiology lab (incl. lab scale bioreactors, a photobioreactor to grow algae and ML-I facilities)

• Greenhouses (Licensed for GEP trials, BPG-II, BPL-II).

• Entomology facilities

Anorganic and inorganic chemistry

• LC-QTOF-MS for non-target mass spectrometry: e.g.

  • which compounds are in my water? does water treatment create toxic breakdown products?

  • biostimulants: what chemicals are responsible for my plant growth stimulation?

• LC-MS or GC-MS for targeted mass spectrometry: e.g. does my recycled substrate contain pesticides

• nutrient analysis of water/substrate; heavy metal content etc.
