Analytical Lab
The Gerace Research Centre Analytical Laboratory has been made possible by a generous grant from The College of the Bahamas. By establishing the Analytical Lab, the GRC hopes to encourage and support increased levels of "on island" research. The lab's facilities and equipment will allow researchers to perform chemical and biological studies requiring specialized instruments in a more sophisticated laboratory setting.
The Analytical Lab is intended for research projects, not for class instruction. Class use of the lab should not be included as part of any field course syllabus. While preference will be given to graduate student and faculty research, upper-level undergraduate research can also be accommodated.
