BAE - Bioprocessing Lab

The Bioproducts Development laboratory is a unique workspace for researchers in the bioprocessing area. Faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, summer interns and high school students interested in bioprocess engineering can take advantage of this approx. 1000 sq. ft wet lab which is fully equipped with standard lab equipment including a biological safety hood, fume hood, stand alone sterilizer (a larger autoclave connected to building steam is available in the department), ultra and micro centrifuges, and refrigerators/freezers. The laboratory is well equipped to perform aerobic and anaerobic culture studies at flask level as well as in 5, 7 and 14L New Brunswick bioreactors. The lab has a UV-Vis spectrophotometer for absorbance measurements and Shimadzu (300 series) High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph with 3 detectors including the UV-Vis detector (VDM-2), autosampler (ASM-2), and gradient pump (AGP-2), required for sample component quantification. A Shimadzu GC with FID and TCD detectors and autosampler is available for analysis of gaseous and liquid samples if needed.
