Perhaps the greatest need at RDI is
for laboratory equipment and supplies. The lab is the
heart of our ability to measure results obtained in the field.
In order to evaluate any data, the proper environment,
equipment, and supplies are required. Necessity has driven us to
invent and develop some inexpensive alternatives to traditional
lab equipment, but there is always need to update and replace
what we have. Your donations can help keep our lab viable
and productive.
