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.
Contact: doc. RNDr. Radoslav Omelka, PhD.
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.

PhD.
Laboratory of Microbiology
The laboratory allows preparation of material
for educational process, as well as basic microbiological techniques
including cultivation and detection of different microbes.
Contact: RNDr. Libuša Lengyelová, PhD.
ClimaBox
ClimaBox is a specialized room which allows
growing experimental plants in specific conditions of temperature,
light, and humidity (± 0,5 şC, 1800 µmol.m-2.s-1).
Contact: RNDr. Peter Boleček, PhD.
Laboratories for education
Laboratory of Physiology
Lecture room - Laboratory of Physiology allows
realization of experiments in field of plant and animal physiology and
molecular biology. The laboratory is partially used also for research
activities.
Contact: RNDr. Peter Boleček, PhD., doc. RNDr. Radoslav
Omelka, PhD.
Greenhouse
Greenhouse is a specialized building for
education in agrology, and plant biology. A collection of foreign and
ornamental plants can be helpful in education of botany. The
greenhouse is used also for research activities.
