There are multiple rental opportunities available for visiting scientists at Whitney Laboratory.
Rental RatesVisiting investigators contribute significantly to the academic life of the Whitney Laboratory. Each year investigators from other institutions come to collaborate with resident faculty to work within the existing research programs and provide complementary expertise. Laboratory space and facilities are also available for independent investigators, and fees are competitive.
The histology facility possesses up-to-date equipment for the preparation of histological sections of fresh, frozen, paraffin-embedded or plastic-embedded tissues.
The adjacent microscope facility is equipped for state-of-the-art optical analyses including confocal, bright- and dark-field, fluorescence, Nomarski, and phase-contrast microscopy.
The cell culture facility is equipped for establishing and maintaining invertebrate and vertebrate cell cultures at temperatures ranging from 4 to 37 degrees C in a controlled, sterile environment.
The various aquarium facilities include a group of large outdoor tanks (some covered), an indoor aquarium room, and an experimental aquarium facility with controlled lighting and temperature-regulated running seawater. The seawater system is a flow-though system of pristine, sand-filtered ocean water – without recirculation.
Facilities and technical staff are also available for photography, videography, artwork, electronics, computer programming and shopwork. The computer and electronics shop is staffed by a full-time computer analyst.
