Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB)
Laboratory of Molecular Biology is a specialized laboratory for analysis of biological processes on DNA, RNA and protein level. The laboratory equipment allows carrying out different molecular techniques including DNA purification, horizontal or vertical electrophoresis, gel documentation, PCR and real-time PCR, DNA and protein quantification, DNA sequencing, microarrays and cell cultivation. The equipment of the lab is also used in preparation of thin section from hard connective tissues together with evaluation of the slides by microscopes.

Analytical Laboratory for Plant Biology
The laboratory includes different instruments which can be used in sample preparation for heavy metals detection and concentration analysis in different biological materials, fluorescence analysis and evaluation of morphologic traits. Some types of microscopes allow observation and evaluation different types of plant and animal tissues on microstructural level.
