Micro- and Nanofabrication Lab

Different dispersion manufacturing technologies have been set up in the general pilot plant section of the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, including membrane homogenization, high intensity ultrasonication, high pressure homogenization, colloid milling and microfluidization. Moreover, to investigate the issue of functionality of ingredients, specifically antimicrobials, a food microbiology section was installed in 2009 which includes key food microbiology equipment such as a sterile bank, microtiter plate reader, culture freezer, various incubators, and spiral plater and plate reader.
