Equipment and Instrumentation

The core provides a community-based lab with benchwork spaces that include instrumentation and supplies researchers may need such as micropipettes, vortexes, balances, water baths, pH meters, shakers, glassware, and gel electrophoresis boxes. There are set up workspaces for students who need space to work on research either independently or in groups. 

The core also has various equipment that is utilized by both students and professors for their research. The equipment used is on a reservation system and can be reserved for an allotted time.
