Equipment for Incorporating Animal and Plant Tissue Culture Procedures into Undergraduate Biology Laboratories

通过购买倒置显微镜、净水系统、孵化器和冷藏离心机，将建成现代组织培养设施。这将改善生物学专业在几个不同领域的教育：1.它将允许观察和测量环境因素对组织生长的影响(生化技术)；2.它将允许研究植物生长和分化的营养和激素控制(普通植物学和植物生理学)；3.细菌遗传学和分子生物学的实验将成为可能(遗传学和微生物学)。组织培养设施也将被学生用于研究项目。学院将提供50%的配套资金。

Through the purchase of an inverted microscope, a water purification system, an incubator, and a refrigerated centrifuge, a modern tissue culture facility will be completed. This will improve the education of biology majors in several different areas: 1. It will allow observation and measurement of effects of environmental factors on tissue growth (Biochemical Techniques); 2. It will permit investigations of nutritional and hormonal control of plant growth and differentiation (General Botany and Plant Physiology); 3. Experiments in bacterial genetics and molecular biology will be possible (Genetics and Microbiology). The tissue culture facility will also be used by students in research projects. The college will provide 50% matching funds.
