The chemistry department has a noteworthy array of modern
instruments, all for student use. Laboratory facilities include
a Cary 50Bio UV-VIS obtained in 2002, a Varian CP
3800 GC with an autoinjector with a Saturn 2000 Ion
Trap MS (2002), a Thermo Matson Satellite FT-IR
(2000), an Anasazi 90-MHz FT-NMR (1999), a
GC-8610 from SRI (2000), a Varian ProStar HPLC
(2004), a Buck 210 VGP Atomic Absorption (2005),
and a Brinkman Titrator (2000). Recently we purchased
a Shimatzu Fluorescence spectrophotometer and a
professional version of Spartan molecular modeling
software. Also available to the project is the equipment
maintained by the biology department, including autoactive sterilizers, tissue processors, luminometers, biophotometer, fotodyne gel documentation systems, plate reader, micro centrifuges, CO incubator, inverted microscope with fluorescence and digital camera, electrode puller, electrode polisher, electrophoresis equipment, vibratome for sectioning, microtome for sectioning, micropipettes, and a scanning electron microscope.
