Equipment

The department maintains a suite of instruments supporting teaching and research. We thank our many generous alumni and friends of the department for their donations, which have allowed us to maintain these crucial instruments. They enable our Faculty and students to make important discoveries in all five sub-divisions of chemistry. Some examples, along with their primary use are shown below:
