Equipment

Up-do-date science requires up-do-date equipment.

The Elk Crew is truly able to multitask. In our labs we perform organic synthesis, grow our biocatalysts, purify them, perform the biotransformations, and analyse our reactions for chemical composition and enantiomeric purity. Our group owns not only a fleet of the latest analytical instruments, we also have access to instruments from other groups at the Institute of Chemistry. And only the best is good enough for our bugs. To ensure that they are growing happily and are productive, we have various incubators including all the machinery for cell harvesting and protein purifications.
