TACF facility is fully functional to carry out basic microbiological and or/immunological work. This is carried out in a main research lab equipped with two BSL-3category biosafety hoods, -20 ?C, -80?C freezer, electroporator, incubators, ELISA reader etc. in addition to basic microbiological work, TACF is equipped for housing experimentally infected guinea pigs (n=240) and mice (n=1000). A necropsy (Dissection) room with a 6 ft BSL-3 hood is also accessible for animal experiments.
