Biolab

Biolab

Biolab is a single-rack multi-user science payload designed for use in the " Columbus" laboratory of the International Space Station.Biolab will support biological research on small plants, small invertebrates, microorganisms, animal cells, and tissue cultures. It will include an incubator equipped with centrifuges in which the preceding experimental subjects can be subjected to controlled levels of accelerations.

These experiments will help identify "the role that microgravity plays at all levels of an organism, from the effects on a single cell up to a complex organism including humans."

Biolab is pre-installed inside the Columbus laboratory. Space Shuttle "Atlantis " on ISS Assembly Flight 1E, mission STS-122, successfully delivered the Columbus module to the ISS on February 9, 2008.
