There’s no question that RIT has one of the most modern, high-tech campuses in the nation. As a Laboratory Science Technology student, you’ll work on state-of-the-art equipment in specialized classrooms and labs:
Chemistry Lab
Here you’ll learn concentration and dilution techniques, analytical separations, standards preparation, and titration and gravimetric analyses with emphasis on quality control, proficiency testing, and standard methods.
Instrumentation Lab - take a 360-degree tour!
You’ll learn to use a wide variety of instruments in this lab, including probes/sensors, chromatography instruments, and spectrophotometers.
Biotechnology/Microbiology Lab
Here you’ll use equipment to perform microscopic and biotechnology-related analysis. Techniques include the use of thermal cyclers, microplate readers, gel electrophoresis apparatus, imaging, colony counting, and identification procedures.
You will use the following laboratory equipment for scientific analysis:
- FTIR Spectrophotometer
- Fluorimeter
