Facilities

Our facilities include a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) laboratory and an offsite light industrial space for fabrication and prototype testing.

Our 2100-sq. ft customized laboratory space is designed specifically for flexibility and can accommodate a variety of chemical and biological protocols. This flexibility allows us to rapidly assess technologies as they move along the development pipeline from bench to field testing. The space can readily be adapted to provide third-party testing for a variety of engineered systems. 

The space has multiple fume hoods and odor control snorkels, a class II A2 biosafety cabinet, and a negative pressure room. The laboratory includes versatile and reconfigurable wet bench space able to house prototype systems and perform a variety of chemical and biological assessments. The facility maintains IRB protocols for the collection of human feces and urine, and BSL-2 protocols for handling excreta as well as select bacteria, viruses, and intestinal parasite ova.
