Experimentation Station
It’s part of our biotech business building services — common scientific equipment, technical & lab management, a demo center, and a storeroom. We also provide for outsourced a la carte services, such as procurement, training at Biotility and Santa Fe, lab safety services (biomedical and chemical waste pickup, for instance), and core services (thanks for UF’s Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research and Animal Care Services).
