Equipment for Improving Undergraduate Laboratories in Cellular Biology

为细胞生物学本科生实验室购买最先进的仪器，正在纠正该系在功能生物学领域的不足。购置记忆器、离心机和冷藏循环器可使细胞细胞器分离；电泳仪和分光光度计--有机化合物的特性；干净的工作台、摇床、培养箱和层析冰箱--隔离和维护细胞培养物。新的设备和仪器使人们有可能对现代生物技术和功能生物学给予必要的重视。改进的细胞生物学实验室正在提高学生在这些课程中的成功程度，并增强他们对专业追求的准备。接受资助的机构正在将NSF奖励与从非联邦来源获得的超过相等的金额相匹配。

The acquisition of state-of-the-art instrumentation for under- graduate laboratories in Cell Biology is correcting this department's deficiencies in areas of functional biology. The acquisition of a dismembrator, a centrifuge and a refrigerated circulator allow for the isolation of cellular organelles; the electrophoresis unit and spectrophotometer -- the characterization of organic compounds; the clean bench, shaker, incubator and chromatography refrigerator -- the isolation and maintenance of cell cultures. The new equipment and instrumentation are making it possible to place needed emphasis on modern biotechnology and functional biology. Improved laboratories in Cell Biology are increasing student success in these courses and enhancing their readiness for professional pursuits. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with more- than-equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.
