Advanced Biological Instrumentation Laboratory (ABIL)

ABIL旨在满足生物科学学院提供的五门实验室课程(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研究课程)的需求。全年运行的灵活的七周模块时间表为每个课程提供了必要的设备。ABIL通过提高学生使用生物仪器和理解现代生物学研究固有技术的能力，为他们在生物科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。这些课程最具特色的是生物设备课程，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。学生拆解回收的仪器，以了解他们的设计。

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.
