The Gene Perturbation platform is equipped with the necessary equipment for the transformation and culture of embryos of marine organisms.
The area is equipped with: a puller to prepare microinjection needles, an electroporator and three microinjection setups necessary for the transformation of zygotes.
Refrigerated incubators and a thermostatic chamber (walk-in) are also available, for the growth of embryos at the required temperature (typically 15, 18 and 20°C).
