We have a complete microbiology cum analytical laboratory which is capable of supporting microbiological research as well as microbiological and physical testing of solid and liquid waste, feedstock and food products. The functions of the laboratory include pH measurements, moisture content analyses, total bacterial counts, total spore counts and strain development, screening, strain handling and preservation, incubation, cultivation and inoculum preparation of indigenous microorganism species. Within the laboratory unit, the facilities available are outlined as follows:

Our laboratory is equipped with standard protocols of biohazard and laminar flow cabinets for aseptic transfers of microorganism and inoculum cultures. A set of sophisticated, electronically controlled bioreactor allows feasible fermentation development and downstream processing (bioreactor product processing) of microorganism cultures. The sample analyses are carried out in accordance with our in-house laboratory methods adopted from internationally recognized standard methods*.
