Equipment Required in Different Rooms in the LPA Lab Facility

Content

The design of the LPA facility includes the availability of different rooms to perform different steps. Each room has a set of specific equipment.

There should be a minimum of 4 separate rooms to carry out procedures. The details of these rooms and equipment are elaborated below:

1. DNA Extraction Room: For DNA extraction from decontaminated samples. Table 1 shows the equipment in the DNA extraction room.
