Prelude
Centre of excellence in Biotechnology (CoEB) is being established at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University with funding support from Government of Tamil Nadu to create world class infrastructure for Biotech Research and Innovation. Research and development activities will be carried out under public-private partnership mode to develop super active enzymes/ bio molecules, biobased products, hormones for fruit ripening, plant growth stimulants and similar bio-inputs for the commercial benefit of farmers.
Independent and free-standing Section 8 company by leveraging strengths of TNAU-BIOTECH COUNCIL FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN BIOTECHNOLOGY was registered as Section 8 Company under the Companies Act 2013 on 16th of August 2018.
Vision
To develop high-end laboratories, biobased products through public-private partnership and quality human resource in the biotech sector
Activities
- Nurturing technology-oriented entrepreneurs and start-up firms focusing on biotechnology for progressive agriculture.
- Bioproduct development and facilitating certification services
- Nurturing of young talents through skill development programmes.
- Programmed resource mobilization and support bioproduct development research in a systematic manner
- Knowledge dissemination about bioproducts to the farming community.
Benefits of CoEB
- Development of novel biobased agri-inputs for the benefit of farmers
- Human resource development by conducting training to students and scholars with entrepreneurial and technical skills
- Availability of analytical facility to students and research scholars
- CoEB serves as a pipeline to transfer the agrotechnology in a large scale to the needy farmers

PROTEOMICS AND METABOLOMICS FACILITY
Analytical Facility was established at CoEB to initiate high end research on genomics and metabolomics by the researchers.
About
The Biotech Council for Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology (CoEB) was established in TNAU, Coimbatore funded by Tamil Nadu government. The instrument facility was established at CoEB to initiate high end research on genomics and metabolomics by the researchers. The equipments viz., Preparative HPLC System, UHPLC system, Nano LC System, MALDI TOF/TOF Mass Spectrometer, LCMS-8045 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer and GCMS TQ-8040 NX Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer under High throughput Platform for Proteomics and Metabolomics.
Goals
- To position Tamil Nadu as a leader on the global biotechnology map
- Fostering investment and innovation in the biotechnology sector
- Providing an enabling environment and world class infrastructure for research, education in biotechnology
NANO LC coupled with Accuspot – MALDI TOF/TOF (Shimadzu, Axima Performance)
- MALDI is a soft ionization that involves a laser striking a matrix of small molecules to make the analyte molecules into the gas phase without fragmenting or decomposing them.
- Automated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MALDI MS/MS) is a well-established technique for identification of components from complex mixtures in shotgun proteomics experiments
- MALDI is appropriate to analyze bio-molecules like peptides, lipids, saccharides, or other organic macromolecules
- Intact Mass determination by mascot server
- Peptide mass fingerprinting
- Oligonucleotide analysis
- Shotgun proteomic
GC-MSMS (Shimadzu Nexis GC – 2030 MS -TQ8040 NX)
- Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MSMS) is a hyphenated analytical technique that combines the separation properties of gas chromatography with the detection feature of mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample.
- GCMS is used to separate the volatile and thermally stable substitutes in a sample and fragments the analyte to be identified on the basis of its mass. The ultra low detection of compounds and superior performance is achieved by triple quadrupole mode.
- Analysis of volatile and aromatic compounds
- Separation, Identification and Quantitative analysis of small molecules
