This 1500 square-foot laboratory has been dedicated to the synthesis and characterization of biomaterials and to histology of orthopaedic tissues. The biomaterials laboratory includes fume hoods and equipment typical of a wet chemistry laboratory. Much of the characterization (SEM, FTIR, XPS, NMR, DSC and TGA) is performed at the Central Instrument Facility on CSU’s main campus. The hard tissue aspects of the histology include a wet dental grinder, Exakt bone saw and microgrinder, and fume hoods. Ancillary items necessary for bone histology are also available which include an explosion proof refrigerator, flammable storage cabinets, Metler balances, hotplates, stirring plates, Eberbach shaker tables, 1 isotemp ovens, and 3 large isotemp waterbaths.
