The Biochemistry laboratory offers you a comprehensive range of equipment for carrying out your research assignments

The Biochemistry laboratory has a wide range of laboratory equipment at its disposal for our main areas of research, the identification of active substances and the quantification of the effects of test substances, as well as for the production of genetically modified fungi or bacteria as test strains or for protein production. These are used to process research assignments.
