XYLOBIOTECH is supporting both previous equipments from support teams and new equipments funded in the frame of the XYLOFOREST project.
Calorimeter (in link with XYLOCHEM)This calorimeter allows to measure the calorific power of wood chips (device operated in link with XYLOCHEM).
Oxymetric alarm systemAn alarm system (GasGard XL, MSA) connected with 2 oxymetric probes is continuously measuring the oxygen level for stopping the liquid nitrogen flow (and indirectly the gaseous output) and alerting...
Tissue culture rooms (FCBA)The in vitro culture lab facility at FCBA is supporting 3 light growth rooms (including one rotative chamber), 1 dark culture room and 1 cold room (4°C) for plant/tissue storage.
Computerized cryogenic freezer with liquid nitrogen inputThe computerized cryogenic freezer (NH1044003, Air Liquide) uses liquide nitrogen input to pre-freeze biological samples following very precise temperature profile in order to avoid ice crystal...
Cryogenic facilityThe cryogenic facility located at FCBA Pierroton is composed of 5 cryogenic tanks with automated filling for sample storage in vapour nitrogen (Arpège 170, Air Liquide) and 2 tanks for storage in...
Eletrotomograph (in link with XYLOSYLVE)The electrotomography device allows to scan soil for water content (3D mapping). This equipment is operated in link with XYLOSYLVE.
Dessicator oven (in link with XYLOCHEM)Dessicator oven allowing to estimate water content and to prepare wood samples for analysis by XYLOMIC, XYLOCHEM or other labs. This equipment also allows in vitro culture of plant material at dried...
