A glimpse at the labs
This page is currently under heavy construction and does not show all our instruments right now...
The technical equipment of our workgroup comprises mainly systems that are used for the analysis and isolation of natural products. We also have the equipment needed for microbiological and cell culture work. Additionally, many other tools and methods are available and ready to use in cooperating workgroups around the campus.
