Facilities and Equipment
There is no better way to learn about the equipment in the Chemistry labs than to actually use it. Students begin that learning in first year Chemistry classes. Chemistry majors receive training on all major equipment, they use that equipment in their coursework, including the research-based Integrated Laboratory. Departmental equipment currently includes:
- Anasazi NMR spectrometer
- Shimadzu Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS)
- Agilent Gas Chromatograph
- Varian High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC)
- Olis Modernized SLM Spectrofluorimeter
- Jasco Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR)
- Scinco UV-Visible Spectrometer
- Perkin-Elmer Atomic Absorption Spectrometer
The Chemistry Department also uses Vernier data acquisition equipment in all the teaching labs. In 2011, the Chemistry Department was awarded a grant from the Pittsburgh Conference Memorial National College Grants Program to purchase Vernier gas chromatographs and spectrometers for use in all lab courses from the introductory Chemical Principles sequence to advanced courses.
