Modern chemical and biochemical research are dependent on sophisticated instrumentation. We rely on these instruments to extend our senses to the molecular level. We have a large inventory of major instrumentation. The amount and quality of our equipment is unmatched by any other undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry department. Some of this equipment is only found at research universities and major industrial research centers. Our complement of state-of-the-art instrumentation includes:
