Current Offerings:
Microscopy and Pipetting Workshop
September 30th at 6:00 PM, Register Here!
Microscopy and Pipetting are fundamental skills for any experiment that occurs within a biology lab. Microscopy aids in the study of cellular structures, identifying microbes, and observing biological processes. Pipetting allows for the accurate transfer of small volumes of liquid, a process that is essential for reproducibility and the prevention of cross-contamination. This workshop will provide real-world experience with both of these important tools through a cell staining and viewing experiment.
BioCatalyst Mammalian Cell Culture Workshop
November 4 at 6:00 PM, Register Here!
Cell culture is a fundamental skill for biology, underpinning a wide range of research and industrial applications. Mastering proper cell culture technique is important for growing healthy cell stocks and preventing contamination. This workshop offers hands-on experience, equipping you with the skills to confidently maintain and work with cell cultures.
