General Use Equipment

What we have: Toolik Field Station has a variety of general use equipment available. These items are owned and maintained by the Environmental Data Center Staff and can be used free of charge. We continue to expand the laboratory facilities at the station to provide the best possible equipment. Please see below for the current list of equipment available.

Scheduling: Use the Equipment Calendar to submit a schedule request. Equipment is available on a first come, first served basis and must be scheduled in advance. We will try to accommodate all user requests and needs.

Your responsibility: Some items may require the user to provide expendables, such as pipette tips and sample vials. Staff will be on hand to provide training and help with maintenance. We make every effort to keep the equipment in top running condition, however we ask for your patience if problems arise as parts and repairs take additional time due to the remote location of the station.

If you have recommendations for additional equipment or changes to existing equipment, please submit a User Input Form on the Contact Us page. We appreciate your comments.
