The CCR at CNCD houses current state of the art equipments to meet the standards of international research. A molecular biology facility is available to the current investigators at CNCD, Pakistan.

Research groups based at CNCD regularly perform DNA/RNA extractions, PCRs, protein electrophoresis, PBMCs isolations and serum analyses using automated analyzers. There is a well-integrated setup of core equipment which includes facilities to perform DNA extraction, and PCR’s.

Facilities to store biological samples such as liquid nitrogen tanks (with good facilities to supply dry ice), ultra-low -80℃ (x20), and -20 ℃(x60) freezers are also available. All the freezers are connected to a central alarm system and technical help is available 24/7 in cases of any emergency. CNCD has its own back-up generator which is able to cover electricity deficits in case of a power failure. In addition to that facility is also back-up by solar energy system.

The investigators in the current application already have a working group of administrative staff in Pakistan which include research physicians, laboratory associates and other field staff.

The Sanger Sequencing facility at the Center for Non-Communicable Diseases (CNCD) provides high-quality DNA sequencing services to support research, diagnostics, and molecular analysis. Utilizing the advanced SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer platform, we deliver accurate, reliable, and reproducible sequencing results for a wide range of applications.

Our facility supports mutation detection, SNP analysis, plasmid verification, PCR product sequencing, and targeted gene validation. With optimized protocols and stringent quality control measures, we ensure rapid turnaround times and high data integrity to meet the needs of researchers and clinicians.

We are committed to advancing research in Pakistan by providing precise sequencing solutions and technical expertise.
