Laboratory is a freestanding facility with 4,500 square feet of research and
office space. The Applied Physiology Laboratory houses a biochemistry area,
a molecular biology area, a blood draw and muscle biopsy procedures room, an
exercise testing area, a histochemical area, and various areas for exercise/metabolic
testing.
The Exercise Physiology Lab is located in the main portion of the Human Performance Laboratories. The Lab has an assortment of “cutting-edge” equipment to provide us with the most precise research methods possible. Some of our featured equipment include: Med Graphics Metabolic Cart, Treadmill, Lode cycle ergometer, Wingate testing software, Environmental chamber, Hydrostatic weighing tank, a strength dynamomter, a procedure room, Histochemistry room including a Microtome cryostat, and a Digital Microscope.
Our Biochemistry Lab features a water purifier, storage area for chemicals, a vertical gel electrophoresis unit, ventilation hood, one refrigerator/freezer, one Ultra-low freezer, a Cryogenic Storage System, and an ice machine.
Our Clinical Fitness Lab is used mainly in a classroom setting and features a Sensor Medics 2900 metabolic cart, 6 Monarch bikes, 7 treadmills, and 5 ECG interpreters.
The Molecular/Cell Biology Lab features a Real Time PCR, precision liquid handling system, a Biophotometer, a Universal Microplate Reader with washer and shaler incubator, a horizontal gel system, a Kodak gel imaging system, one Ultra-low freezer and various balances, pH meters, vortexs, etc.
