Abstract

The objective of this proposal is to obtain resources for the purchase of a -70°C freezer, as several laboratories in this Unit have always used small spaces provided by Dr. Del-Bel. However, this equipment reached its maximum capacity, forcing us to request this funding from FAPESP, when submitting the "parent" Project (Regular Research Project 2022/12290-2) which had not been granted by FAPESP. Therefore, as we continue to have difficulty storing samples until processing, we requested the same equipment through this so-called EMU. (AU)
