Biology
Labs and Facilities
Many of our biology courses include a 3 hour lab session or fieldwork per week. There are two well-equipped biology laboratories found in Donovan Hall. The biology laboratories are equipped with standard equipment consisting of compound and dissecting microscopes, sterilizer, incubators, and various instruments shared with chemistry such as spectrophotometers with fluorometers, various chromatographs, etc... Students also have access to electrophoresis equipment, a PCR instrument and a tissue culture hood. And, for science students who prefer a larger lab experience, the SUNYIT campus includes hundreds of acres of forest and wildflower areas. In addition, SUNYIT is close to diverse ecosystems such as the Utica Marsh, Rome sand plains, and the Adirondack Mountains.
