(877) 870 - CURE
After consulting with the people who are in laboratories everyday, including lab technicians and the workers under the direction of supervising scientists and researchers, we have been advised that the following equipment will help further our research. Below you will find several standard pieces of equipment that are required to make our laboratories work. In some cases, there will be consumables, items that get destroyed with use and testing. Those will therefore be reoccurring expenses. The following budget itemizes the quantities and costs of materials and their descriptions.
