We don’t think you should have to wait to get started. At Heidelberg, you’ll have the opportunity to jump right into research. With hands-on learning at every level, you’ll find the support, 经历, and opportunities in and out of the lab that will prepare you for professional research in your field. Think a small school can’t give you big opportunities? 再想想.
生物化学实验室
This lab is used by third- and fourth-year students and is capped at 12 students which allows them to develop biochemical skills through hands-on experiments. Students will learn how to isolate and separate enzymes from tissue and use a 凝胶电泳 apparatus, pH值米, 分光光度计, 热循环器, an Eppendorf 5804R centrifuge, and a peristaltic pump. Past research projects include isolating insulin from pancreatic tissue and comparing lactate dehydrogenase activity in heart tissue of several species.
Chemistry 研究 Lab
The chemistry research lab has individual workstations for students to work on independent research projects. It also houses a gas chromatography spectrometer and electrospinning apparatus including a Gamma High Voltage ES30P-20W power supply. Students can work with faculty in this space to extend their studies out of the classroom and into a working lab. Current research in the lab includes designing electrospun fiber wound dressings to be tested in the Longaker animal lab.
野外生物实验室
The field lab is where you’ll record and analyze your data from out in the field. The lab offers 孵化器, 抽油烟机, 大汇, 植物标本柜, 工厂按, and dissecting and compound microscopes. The room is also used for field biology classes, dissecting and keying out flowers and limnology.
地质实验室
The geology lab is used for hands-on learning during class and is a place to analyze and record research data. The lab contains mineral, 岩石, and fossil collections, 蒸汽工作台, interactive groundwater models, and map collections for Ohio and national parks.
General Chemistry Lab
This lab will teach you the basic skills needed by scientists when working in a laboratory. The spacious design accommodates 24 students while providing each student their own fume hood, 设备的抽屉里, 还有工作空间. This lab is typically utilized by first-year students who are just starting out their training as scientists or just want to learn more about the physical world around them.
Genetics/Molecular Biology Lab
Used in upper-level genetics courses, the lab is equipped with thermalcyclers, 凝胶电泳 apparatus, Bio-Doc-IT imaging system, 孵化器, 离心机, and 分光光度计. You’ll learn practice polymerase chain reactions (PCR), 酶消化, 凝胶电泳, 布拉德福德化验, 西方墨点法, 细胞培养, and various bioinformatics exercises.
仪器室
This room contains lab instruments and equipment shared by all labs. Instruments include an IR, cyclic voltammograph (CV), 60 MHz核磁共振, a picoSpin 45 MHz NMR, and an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Students have access to this space when conducting individual research. Students also have access to several mass spectrophometers in Heidelberg’s National Center for Water Quality 研究.
微生物学实验室
In this lab you’ll learn basic bacteriology: Gram staining, making selective and differential media, 生化试验, and the effects of antibiotics. Equipment includes compound microscopes, 抽油烟机, water bath for fecal coliform testing, 孵化器, 水抛光机, Quebec colony counters, 规范20, and microbiological supplies.
Organic Chemistry Lab
In the Organic Chemistry Lab students learn how to synthesize organic molecules as well as common separation techniques. Each student has their own fume hood, 设备的抽屉里, 还有工作空间. This lab allows students to learn how to use scientific instruments/equipment such as a melting-point apparatus, 离心机, 旋转蒸发器, infrared spectrophotometer (IR) and a nuclear magnetic spectrophotometer (NMR). This lab is also available for students to conduct independent research projects related to organic chemistry. Past research experiments include synthesizing natural compound analogs to test as antibacterial agents and extracting natural compounds to develop a perfume line.
Physical and Analytical Chemistry Lab
The Physical and Analytical Chemistry Lab allows you to truly develop as a chemist. Classes held in this space are generally limited to 14 students so that you have a lot of direct faculty interaction. Students will learn how to use an auto-pipet washer, pH值米 (including electrolyte probes), 分光光度计, and a bomb calorimeter. Students interested in conducting research related to physical, 分析, or environmental chemistry can use this space. Past research utilizing this space include measuring the amount of cocaine on currency and measuring the amount of glyphosate, 常见的除草剂, 在径流.
生理学实验室
This lab is outfitted with computer stations linked to iWorx chart recording hardware. This versatile system allows for computerized data collection of ECG tracings, respiratory measurements, 肌肉收缩, blood pressure measurements, 脉冲重复频率, 神经冲动. Physiology laboratory 经历 include frog gastrocnemius 肌肉收缩, 心脏功能, respiratory volume measurements, 感官知觉, blood glucose control, 渗透调节, 酶消化, 泌尿系统功能, 反射控制.
