• laminar-air-flow cabinet within which tissue culture work can be carried out under sterilized environment
• glass bead sterilizer where temperature of beads is raised to 250°C in 15-20 min with 15 s cut off. Here the sterilization of instruments is effecting by pushing them into the beads for 5-7 s. This is much safer compare to the Bunsen burner heating of instruments like, forceps, needles, scalpels etc.
• binocular microscope to observe surface details and morphogenic responses of cultures and their possible contamination.
• low speed table-top centrifuge to sediment cells or protoplasts
