INTEGRATED LABORATORIES

PCR ROOM

There are 5 integrated laboratoris at IHCM. Each laboratory has 1 PCR room. This room is specific for sample preparation and PCR setup. Tissue cultures, tissue specimens, and serum samples are all brought into the room and processed for the extraction of DNA or RNA, depending on the application.

RESEARCH EQUIPMENTS

NANOPORE MINION NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING SYSTEM
Nanopore sequencing is used to determine the sequence of DNA/RNA bases. You can think of this like trying to complete two jigsaws of the same photograph — one with significantly larger pieces than the other. A jigsaw with only 9 pieces is much easier to assemble than one with 900.
