The Microchemistry Laboratory (ML), which started its operation in 1988,
is an applied unit of the IMBB. It was set up as a facility lab to cover the
needs of the research groups of the IMBB in oligonucleotides. These needs
increased rapidly. Subsequently, the ML took the initiative of supplying
various hospitals and research groups throughout Greece with its oligos.
Today the ML is the only facility of its kind in Greece, having an excellent
reputation for the quality of its products and services. It covers a
substantial fraction of the national oligonucleotide needs. The
olingonucleotide synthesis is implemented on two Model 394 and one Model 391
DNA synthesizers (Applied Biosystems). The purification of the oligos is done
with an HPLC Waters, 625 LC System. Future plans include the expansion of the
MLŐs activities into DNA sequencing and peptide synthesis.
