Equipment Catalog

Browse shared equipment by category group, then open a category for locations and specific models. Categories and resources are sorted alphabetically when this index is regenerated.

Looking for a center, lab, or program rather than a tool? See Centers and spaces.

Each category also has its own page — for example NMR — so a direct question can land on a short answer. Use the header search box for synonyms (e.g. “3d printing”, “laser cutter”). Related categories listed under each equipment type link capability bridges across departments (for example clinical assessment ↔ biometrics).
