𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 | 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 - 𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 (𝑷𝒂𝒓𝑺𝑼-𝑴𝑻𝑳) continuously strives to elevate its research credibility through a collaboration with 𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒃 𝑨𝒔𝒊𝒂 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

This collaboration allowed the corporation to demonstrate and thoroughly discuss their advanced equipment, the 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥, which is capable of extracting and purifying high-quality DNA and RNA from a wide variety of biological samples, processing up to 16 samples in a single run. This state-of-the-art equipment significantly lessens the burden of the entire DNA extraction step and even features a self-sterilization function. During the demonstration, participants actively engaged by asking questions about the equipment's operation, workflow, and maintenance which is crucial in understanding the equipment.

Happy Birthday to one of our Science Research Assistants, Hannah! 🎂

Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and passion in Microbiology! As you celebrate another year of life, may you be blessed with abundant health, happiness, and success in all your endeavors.

Happy Birthday from your ParSU-MTL Family! 🥰
