Among the lab facilities and equipment available to our students are:

• Well equipped, modern laboratories at all class levels, for example:
  • computer data systems, electronic analytical balances, spectrophotometers and pH meters in introductory labs,
  • microscale and macroscale glassware, GC, FT-IR, GC-MS, and FT-NMR in organic chemistry labs.
• Instrumentation labs with research grade capillary gas chromatographs, polarograph, atomic absorption/emission and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers.
• Laser lab with research grade triple monochromator (may be set up as Raman spectrophotometer), argon-ion laser, nitrogen laser pumped dye laser, 4' x 8' optical table (with vibration isolation), and extensive collection of optical mounts and components
• Surface Chemistry lab with ultrahigh vacuum system, Auger spectrometer, quadrupole spectrometer, and high resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrometer.
• 300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) lab for carbon and proton spectra.
• Gas chromatogram-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) with auto sampler.
• NSF funded (1999-2002) Molecular Modeling/Computational Chemistry lab and student access workstations.

All of the instruments are intended for use in the classroom or for independent study by our students.
