Research Institute for Biotechnology and Environment (RIBE) was established in 2006 based on the reunification of Research center for Environmental Technology and Natural Resource Management (founded in 1995), Chemical and Biological Analysis and ExperimentCenter (founded in 1997) and BiotechnologyCenter (formed in 2000). The organization framework includes three centers, five departments, and one experimental site. Currently, RIBE is administrated with ISO 9001:2000 and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standards. It was equipped with several modern and sophisticated equipments such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS 4000Q Trap), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS), atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), sequencer (ABI 3100), real-time PCR and PCR and other analyzing equipments for air, soil, food and medicinal plants.
