Biology Laboratories
Located in Ira Allen 122 and 210.
The School of Sciences and Humanities has two biology labs in the Center for Sciences and Biomedical Engineering. These labs are outfitted with the newest equipment for conducting experiments in cell and molecular biology and biotechnology, and for performing studies for anatomy and physiology courses. These labs contain compound light microscopes, micropipettes, and spectrophotometers for introductory courses, as well as thermal cyclers and molecular imaging systems for DNA and protein analysis.
The labs also feature such cutting-edge devices as fluorometers, a fluorescent microscope, and a real-time-PCR system for more sophisticated experiments. A dedicated space within the biology labs is designed for performing and teaching cell culture techniques, which includes a biosafety cabinet and incubator. Collectively, the biology labs are well equipped to provide students with the necessary tools and technology to gain relevant lab experience and skills for studying the natural world.
