澳门六合彩

The chemistry department features over 10,000 square feet of dynamic teaching and research laboratories. Students have the opportunity to use advanced, research-grade instrumentation in their instructional laboratories and when conducting research with faculty.

About Our Facilities

The home of the chemistry department at 澳门六合彩 is Wynn Hall, which houses both instructional laboratories and laboratories dedicated to research by the department鈥檚 professors and students.

Student Access to Facilities

All research facilities are available to undergraduate student researchers. Students may also access the department鈥檚 computer lab, which houses 12 workstations equipped with software packages specifically suited for scientific data analysis, molecular graphics, and computational chemistry.

Instrumentation

BrukerAvance 400 MHz NMR spectrometer
BrukerAvance 400 MHz NMR spectrometer

Used for providing detailed structural information on organic, bioorganic, and organometallic chemical samples, it features a variable temperature unit, automated sample changer, and 1H/13C and broadband multinuclear probes.

Oxford Diffraction Gemini R Ultra x-ray diffractometer
