| The 440 m2 Aquatic Toxicology Research Facility (ATRF) is housed in the Toxicology Centre and is the only facility of its type in Canada. The ATRF was designed as a self-sufficient, multi-user facility that is available for use by both Canadian and International investigators through research partnerships with Toxicology Centre researchers. |

Due to its flexible design, the ATRF can be adapted to work with any experimental design and equipment configuration. Separate water lines enable the delivery of a wide range of water hardness, pH and temperature. Aquaria are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be moved and arranged as required. Innovative self-contained proportional diluter systems are also available. |
|
The ATRF Manager oversees the use of the aquatic facility and is available as a resource for setting up experiments. Due to the self-sufficient nature of the ATRF, a fee structure has been developed to meet the costs of equipment maintenance and facility up-keep. In addition, specialized services and equipment are also available to researchers at an additional cost. For further information on the costs associated with the use of the ATRF, please see the ATRF website or contact the ATRF Manager. |
