Low Temperature Storage (4°C)
(Sanyo,
Japan)
Buffers,
solutions and bacterial cells need to be stored in low temperature to prevent
contaminations. To maintain constant low temperature, they are stored in
frost-free refrigerators. This is because, unlike the direct-cool
refrigerators popularly used in home, the technology of the frost free
refrigerator helps to maintain a more consistent temperature. We use the low
temperature storage facility for running some experiments like electrophoresis
of enzymes in native PAGE and also for chromatography separation of enzymes and
thermo-labile proteins. If we need to run more experiments at low temperature,
a walk in cold-room facility is also available.
