After this request from SAHMRI “FOMsa members will appreciate the real cost of quality equipment. As fellow lovers of unique machinery, we all appreciate the need to upgrade and maintain our equipment to ensure that it fulfills its function. Right now, one of our core machines, the Microplate Reader is over 10 years old. We need to replace this “workhorse” – and quickly – so that our researchers can continue their life-changing work and obtain reliable results.”
This year’s $1200.00 Equipment Fund donation will go fund the purchase of the Micro Plate Reader.
