The INiBICA cell culture unit has biological safety cabinets, incubators, as well as the basic equipment necessary for the realization, maintenance and conservation of cultures. The room is divided into two rooms to separate the obtaining of primary cultures (human or of animal origin) from cultures with already established cell lines.
