MSOE's brand-new, state-of-the-art BioMolecular Engineering laboratory suite is now open for business. It includes a Wet Biotechnology Lab, a Senior Design Lab, a Dry Instrumentation Lab and a BSL-II Cell Culture facility. The multi-million dollar laboratories were built with a generous personal gift from Drs. Robert and Patricia Kern.
The laboratories feature:
- Top-of-the-line equipment, including -20ºC and -80ºC freezers to store DNA, RNA and other biomolecules
- Storage cabinets with negative pressure that safely contain vapors
- Macro- and micro-centrifuges
- An autoclave that can steam- or dry-sterilize both liquids and glassware
- Data-input jacks and wireless hubs throughout all four laboratories
- A student lounge area for group meetings, projects and studying
