LABORATORY
|
The dry laboratory is fully equipped and provides ample bench space for
visiting scientists, educational groups, and "in-house" research at Mote.
|
|
|
Because the lab is also used for Mote "in-house" research, equipment is well maintained and most common
use items (such as glassware, kimwipes, etc) are readily available.
Visitors need only bring non-reusable items (filter discs, chemicals,
etc.). The main lab includes bench space and cabinets, fume hood,
refrigerator, freezer, a low temperature drying oven, autoclave, mechanical
and electronic balances, benchtop refrigerated centrifuge, vacuum
pumps and a variety of microscopes (stereo and compound). Deionized
water is available, and a separate chemical prep room provides space for weighing
and mixing chemicals.
|
Fume hood, sterile hood, and several incubators are available for
microbiology. The lab is also equipped with high-speed internet access at no additional
charge for visitors, and a multi-port hub provides internet access
for visitors traveling with laptops. Some basic computers and a printer are also
available for general use, web access, and email. A digital video editing station
is also available by special arrangement, as well as a large plotter for printing posters and banners.

|
A
separate imaging lab provides a dark, quite space for
microscopy. A variety of compound and dissecting scopes are
available. An Olympus BX60 Fluorescence capable scope is
equipped with digital imaging, and several Leica compound scopes are
available for group use.
