Infrastructure

Dr. EGS-CoEI has been set up with the cutting edge infrastructure facilities to implement cost-efficient and holistic research activities in fish microbiome, nutrigenomics and allied fields.

• Wet laboratory facilities: Hatchery facility, RAS facility, In door rearing and experimentation facility & Sea cage farming units

• Microbiome laboratory: Contains state-of-the-art facilities like anaerobic chamber, biosafety cabinets, bacteriological incubators, refrigerated incubators, shaking incubators, bench top fermenter, centrifuges (refrigerated and ultracentrifuges), sonicators, homogenizers, thermal cyclers- gradient and real time), electrophoretic units (vertical and horizontal), gel image analyzers, laboratory freezers (-20 and -80℃), automatic tissue processor for histology, rotary microtome, microscopes (compound with photomicrography and scanning electron microscope), high precision weighing balances, sterilization facilities, lyophilizers, spectrophotometers, microplate reader, etc.

• Nutrigenomics laboratory: Contains different equipment like, ball mill, spheronizer with extruder, fluidized bed dryer with compressor, grindometer, sieving shaker, HPLC unit with accessories, GLC-FID with accessories, laboratory scale extruders, water quality analysers, automatic protein, fat and fibre analysers, feed sampler mill, pulverizer, feed mixer, muffle furnace, rotary evaporator, etc.

• NGS & Bioinformatics infrastructure facilities: Nanopore sequencer, high performance computing facility with four compute nodes and three TFLOPS computing capacity with 8 processors, 96 cores and 64 GB memory per node. Total usable storage capacity is 4 TB and works in Linux RHEL operating system.

Co-working spaces & meeting rooms: Designed to foster the creativity, collaborations and meetings.
