Laboratory Space
CSC Laboratory Specifications
The CSC is housed in a 900 square foot laboratory which is designed as an adaptable space for a broad range of screening assays. The CSC includes certified Class 10,000, 1000 and 100 space in which the air is filtered to reduce the number of particles to 10,000, 1000 or 100 per cubic meter respectively. This process ensures a high degree of confidence in assays due to the vastly reduced risk of contamination in this environment. [high-res image]
