Description:
The Plant Tissue Culture and Transformation Facility operates both as a full service facility delivering transgenics and cell cultures to researchers and a self service facility providing high quality space for researchers to use for their own specific project needs. The facility currently consists of a 880 sq. ft. single large lab along with a 225 sq ft annex for transformation and tissue culture work, over 880 sq.ft of culture growth space, and a dedicated media kitchen for media preparation.
