Organic synthesis laboratory

The group lab is well-equipped for organic of various functional nanomaterials. The research infrastructure includes:

• fully equipped organic chemistry lab (chemicals, solvents, glassware, gases, stirrers, reactors, ovens, vacuum pumps, etc.)
• rotary evaporators
• thermostated baths
• sonication bath
• ultrasonication aparatus
• lyophilization apparatus,
• centrifuges
• freezer and refrigerators
• analytical balance
• microbalance

Physicochemical characterization laboratory

The lab is well-equipped for physicochemical characterization of functional dendritic polymers and nanoparticles. Specifically, the laboratory’s infrastructure consists of: Optical and fluorescence microscopy with imaging capture and analysis, thermal analysis (DSC, TGA), Spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, and fluorescence), Dynamic Light Scattering, Multi-angle static light scattering, Î¶-potential. In addition, it has access to large facilities located within NCSRD (ATR-FTIR, NMR, XRD, CD, AFM, SEM and TEM).

Cell culture laboratory

The cell culture facility consists of a 60-square-meters room, equipped with two laminar flow hoods, two CO₂ incubators, two orbital shakers with temperature control, an incubator dedicated to bacterial growth, an inverted microscope, a fluorescent microscope and two desk top centrifuges. In addition, a liquid nitrogen tang is available for long-term storage of culture cell lines as well as freezer and refrigerator. In addition, it has access to facilities located within NCSRD (Infinite M200 TECAN microplate reader, FACSCalibur flow cytometer, multiphoton confocal microscope, etc.)
