Genetics Laboratory
Some important devices available in the Genetics Laboratory of the Department of Plant Production Engineering and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources
Rotary: To separate two samples of mixed herbal extracts (essential oils and their active ingredients) from each other using solvents.

Bain-Marie: The above device can be adjusted to temperatures of 85 and 100 degrees Celsius. It is used to fix samples and count the number of chromosomes to determine how many chromosomes a plant has.
Fluorescence Microscopy:
In the genetics laboratory, fluorescence microscopes are used for the following:
• Imaging the structural components of small samples such as cells
• Performing viability studies on cell populations
• Imaging the genetic material within the cell DNA and RNA
Observing specific cells in a larger population with techniques such as FISH
Inverted microscope: Using this microscope, you can view living cells from under a cell culture flask. Unlike conventional microscopes, inverted microscopes, cells are imaged inside the culture medium and under natural, sterile conditions.
Oven (four): Used to sterilize or dry plants and fruits, as well as to dry glass and metal containers in laboratories.
