The Department of Chemistry maintains a full compliment of modern chemical instrumentation. Our undergraduate students gain hands-on experience with some of these instruments in laboratory courses including the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, infrared spectrometer, spectrophotometer, HPLC, PCR, etc. Senior students working on senior research projects may have the opportunity to use other instruments otherwise not introduced in teaching labs. Faculty also use the instrumentation to support their research.
