This lab houses the equipment, materials, hand stations for fabrication of the Choi-patented Micro-thermal Sensor (MTS). Steps include pulling borosilicate glass pipettes, filling pipettes, and coating pipettes through sputtering.
This is a BSL-2 Level Section
Section includes two Areas which are maintained by Human Cells Laboratory Operations Manager: Current HCLOM
This section houses cryo-preserved human cancer cells from NIH.
Contact Dr. Simmons for more information on list of cancer cells and access.
A designated cell culture room for cryo-preserving cultures, subculturing, preparing cultures for characterization profiles, setting-up designed testbeds for functional assessment of the MTS
