General Use Rooms

The General Use Equipment Rooms supply year-round and summer investigators with instrumentation, some owned by MBLand some on loan. Located in the Whitman and Lillie buildings, these rooms provide such equipment as balances, pH meters, centrifuges, cell disruption systems, spectrophotometers, gel scanner and analysis system, pipet puller, and PCR. Limited -80°C freezer space is available.

For a complete list of instrumentation or to discuss possible loans, contact Louie Kerr at (508) 289-7273; Fax: (508) 548-6902; E-mail:lkerr@mbl.edu

Reservation sheet: Reservation sheets are available for centrifuges and x-ray film processors.

Training: If you need training, need further instructions or need to obtain the users manual for specific equipment, please do contact us.

Access approval: Items with * in the list below require access approval.

As always, please inform us of specific equipment that you would like to see in the general use rooms. We may call upon you to write a short justification for future grant proposals for that specific equipment.
