The Long Research Laboratory is located on the third floor of Stephen J. Kopp Hall at Marshall University, which houses the School of Pharmacy. The 4,294 sq. ft. research floor features an open laboratory design that promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration among investigators specializing in pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, toxicology, pharmaceutics, and medicinal chemistry. The facility is equipped with chemical fume hoods for synthetic work; Class II biosafety cabinets and CO₂ incubators for cell culture; designated chemical storage areas; a temperature-controlled cold room; and a 250-L steam-generated autoclave to support sterilization and microbiological research activities.
In addition, dedicated core labs that house major research equipment for common use are available to our researchers. These include: 1) an imaging room with plate reader, microscopes, and flow cytometer; 2) a mass spectroscopy lab with an Agilent 6460 triple quad LCMS; 3) a NMR lab with a 300 MHz Bruker magnet equipped with autosampler; 4) a pharmaceutical analysis lab with GCMS, HPLC, rheometer, tablet press, Zetasizer, and dissolution apparatuses; and 5) BSL-2 compliant microbial and mammalian cell culture rooms.
