Construction situation of Shanxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Economic Plant Development and Utilization
Shanxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Economic Plant Development and Utilization was established in July 1998. It currently has 20 professional and technical personnel, including , 2 professor-level senior engineers, 3 senior engineers, and the rest are junior and intermediate technicians. We successively purchased a set of liquid chromatograph (original value of 10,000 yuan), an electronic balance (original value of 30,000 yuan), an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (original value of 96,000 yuan), and a UV spectrophotometer. (original value of 80,000 yuan), a set of date preservation test equipment (original value of 12,000 yuan), a set of supercritical CO2 extraction pilot equipment (original value of 1 million yuan), and a set of multimedia projectors (original value of 85,000 yuan) ), the purchase of this batch of instruments played an important role in improving the experimental conditions and research level of our hospital.
Key Laboratory *** has undertaken 4 research topics, including: ① Sea buckthorn oil supercritical CO2 extraction technology. This topic has completed pilot testing and will be accepted this year. ② Red dates preservation test, this project won the national invention patent in 2001 and won the second prize of the Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award. ③The tissue culture technology of rare shade foliage plants won the second prize of the Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award in 2001, and two flowers won a silver and a bronze medal at the 99' Kunming World Expo. ④China-Romania international cooperation project - walnut seed breeding, has passed the acceptance inspection.
The establishment of the key laboratory has created conditions for the scientific research level of our hospital to reach a new level. The subjects undertaken by our hospital, including Shanxi Medical University, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other units, all laboratory analysis contents are carried out by Key laboratory completed. The key laboratory researched and developed invention patented technology, sea buckthorn oil development technology, micropropagation tissue culture and rare foliage plant seedling technology, and is working hard to seek cooperation. At present, sea buckthorn oil development is in contact with Shanxi Forestry Distribution Company to develop sea buckthorn oil capsules. This batch of results has broad prospects for developing our province's rich wild resources, improving product upgrading, and increasing economic benefits.
At present, key laboratories need to increase research equipment in bioengineering, and cultivating and propagating new varieties through genetic recombination and light technology is a top priority.
