Cell Culture and Cancer Molecular Research Laboratory

  • -80 Refrigerator
    It is necessary to maintain the stability of biological materials (cell culture, DNA, RNA, protein samples) and for long-term storage. By storing samples used in research at temperatures as low as -80°C, they retain their biological activity and can be preserved for use in future experiments. Long-term storage is critical to ensure continuity between experiments, reproducibility and data reliability.

  • +4/-20 Refrigerator
    Used for short-term storage of biological samples, maintaining chemical and enzyme stability, and cold storage of general laboratory supplies. The 4°C compartment is ideal for short-term storage of materials such as cell culture media, reagents, biological samples. It maintains the stability of biological samples and slows the growth of bacteria and microorganisms. The -20 °C chamber is used for longer-term storage, especially for sensitive materials such as DNA, RNA, protein samples. The low temperature stops the activity of such samples, slowing down biological and chemical processes.

  • Biosafety Cabinet (Class 2)
    It prevents contamination in cell culture studies and creates a safe and sterile working environment for live cultures and other biological materials. On the other hand, the safety of the researcher is ensured by the air flow from the room in which the researcher is located into the cabin. Thanks to the laminar air flow, the HEPA filter in the environment sterilizes the air circulating in the device and reduces the risk of contamination of the working environment. The UV lamp and real-time airflow control included in the Electronic Control System provide a sterile environment completely free of particles. The downward laminar flow of HEPA filtered air provides protection for the experimental materials inside the chamber. Environmental protection is also ensured as the air inside the chamber is filtered and free of contamination.

  • Inverted Microscope (Fluorescent Attachment, integrated camera, display and application program)
    They are special types of microscopes used in cell culture laboratories to examine living cells and tissues and to perform live cell experiments. The main advantage of these microscopes is the ability to observe cells from below, rather than from above, by passing light through the bottom of cell culture dishes. Special contrast techniques such as phase contrast and differential interference contrast can be used to better visualize the different structures and components inside the cells. It provides better depth of focus in cell culture samples, making it possible to obtain better quality three-dimensional images. The fluorescence attachment is a powerful tool for studying intracellular events and protein interactions in cell culture studies.
