Establishing a molecular biology lab requires careful planning of space, equipment, consumables, and workflows.
Space and biosafety
Teaching labs typically operate at BSL-1 or BSL-2. Ensure adequate ventilation, hand-wash stations, and clear separation of pre-PCR and post-PCR areas.
Essential equipment
PCR thermocycler, microcentrifuge, gel electrophoresis system, micropipettes, and a reliable -20°C freezer are baseline requirements.
Reagent supply
Partner with an authorized distributor for consistent quality and cold-chain logistics. HiMedia teaching kits provide ready-made curricula for introductory courses.
PML support
We offer lab setup consultation, equipment maintenance, reagent supply contracts, and technician training across Ghana and West Africa.
