Advanced Biological Instrumentation Laboratory (ABIL)

ABIL旨在满足生物科学学院提供的五门实验课程（生物仪器、细胞和分子生物学、比较遗传学、微生物生理学和一门独立学习课程）的需求。灵活的七周模块化时间表全年运行，为每个课程提供必要的设备访问。ABIL通过提高学生使用生物仪器和理解现代生物研究固有技术的能力，为学生在生物科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。这些课程中最独特的是生物设备课程，该课程要求学生使用原型板设计，构建和分析不同的电路和仪器。学生拆卸回收的仪器，了解其设计。

The ABIL is designed to fulfill the needs of five laboratory courses (Biological Instrumentation, Cell and Molecular Biology, Comparative Genetics, Microbial Physiology, and an independent study course) offered within the School of Biological Sciences. A flexible seven week modular schedule running throughout the year provides the necessary access to the equipment for each of the courses. The ABIL prepares students for careers in biological sciences by improving their abilities to use biological instrumentation and to understand techniques inherent to modern biological research. The most unique feature of these courses is the Biological Equipment course which requires students to design, build and analyze different circuits and instruments using prototype boards. Students disassemble salvaged instruments to understand their design.
