Facilities
Research laboratories cater
to investigations in Analytical Chemistry (four), Inorganic and
Organic Chemistry (three), Physical Chemistry (three), and Polymer
Chemistry (two).
Mass Spectrometry Laboratory
Finnigan LCQ LC-MS mass spectrometer for Electrospray
Ionization MS, a VG 70SE high resolution mass spectrometer, and a VG TOFSPEC MALDI mass spectrometer.
Magnetic Resonance Laboratory
Varian INNOVA 300 MHz superconducting FT-NMR spectrometer, Varian INNOVA 500 MHz superconducting FT-NMR spectrometer, and a Varian X-band 12" EPR
spectrometer.
Analytical Instrumentation Laboratory
Newly renovated and open-access departmental Analytical Instrumentation Laboratory includes two Perkin-Elmer (PE) Spectrum One Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectrometers each with a universal diamond ATR accessory, a PE Lambda-35 UV/visible spectrometer, a PE Lambda-950 UV/visible/NIR spectrometer with a 60-mm-diameter diffuse reflectance integrating sphere, a PE model 343 polarimeter, a PE LS55B luminescence spectrometer, a PE Clarus 500 capillary-column GC with dual FID detectors, a Clarus 500 capillary-column GC/MS system (with electron impact capability), a PE Series 200 Quaternary HPLC development system with UV/visible photodiode array detector, a PE Series 200 binary HPLC system equipped with a Sciex AP150 quadrupole MS detector, a PE Series 2000 binary gel permeation chromatography system with refractive index detector, and a Varian AA240FS flame atomic absorption spectrometer.
Other Departmental Facilities
The department maintains a computational chemistry laboratory equipped with nine Dell Optiplex 620 computers running Hyperchem v 7.5. Research laboratories for each of the department faculty members are located in Disque and Stratton Halls. Instrumentation available in the research laboratories is described on individual faculty web pages. Additional full-time support includes an instrument specialist (for NMR and MS), a glassblower (Chemistry Department), two electronics specialists (College of Arts & Sciences Electronics Shop), and four machinists (Drexel University Machine Shop).
