Stepping inside Northeastern University’s Wet Lab Makerspace, you’re greeted by the hum of machines and light glinting off workbenches and science equipment.
Equipment like Bunsen burners and petri dishes may look familiar, while the specialized gear of cryo-freezers and flow cytometers may not. Yet no matter your familiarity with chemistry or biology equipment, if you’re a member of the Northeastern community, it’s there for you to explore.
Located in Northeastern’s EXP research complex, the Wet Lab Makerspace provides students, faculty and staff with the skills they need to conduct their own experiments, from gene sequencing to making microbial art. Feel uncomfortable taking on your own experiment? The lab also provides regular seminars to get you up to speed on safety, tools and experimental approaches.
