Equipment for Improving Undergraduate Laboratories in Cellular Biology

为细胞生物学的本科生实验室购置了最先进的仪器，正在纠正本系在功能生物学领域的不足。获得了一个分解器、一个离心机和一个冷冻循环器，可以分离细胞器；电泳装置和分光光度计——有机化合物的表征清洁工作台，摇床，培养箱和色谱冰箱-细胞培养的分离和维护。新的设备和仪器使重视现代生物技术和功能生物学成为可能。细胞生物学实验室的改进提高了学生在这些课程中的成功，并增强了他们对专业追求的准备。受资助机构从非联邦来源获得的资助数额大于同等数额。

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.
