Research Facilities

The Department of Chemistry maintains a broad selection of state-of-the-art research instrumentation. A key feature of all our labs is the availability of skilled and dedicated technical staff members who keep the instruments well-maintained and help students with user training, sample prep, data interpretation, and instrument scheduling.
