Our laboratory’s instrumentation capability:

Two laser system are available, a HeCd laser (442nm, 4601R-E from Kimmon Electric) and an ion laser (Stabilite 2018 RM from Spectra Physics) which provides all the main wavelengths of an argon and a krypton laser. 

A confocal Raman microscope spectrometer (RM 1000) from Renishaw and a Chiral IRTM Fourier Transform Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectrometer [VCD] from Bio Tools.  These instruments enable us to perform Raman, Infrared Absorption [IR] as well as VCD measurements in our laboratory. We also have a Jasco J-810 Electronic Circular Dichroism spectrometer [ECD]. Temperature control is available for CD, IR and Raman measurements.

Our lab also has access to a far UV-vis absorption spectrometer, FTIR spectrometer, and Fluorimeter from Perkin Elmer. A Veeco diNanoScope 3D Multimode Atomic Force Microscope [AFM], as well as a 300 MHz and 500 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer [NMR]. All located in the general laboratory facilities of the Drexel Chemistry department.

Our Biospectroscopy Laboratory also comprises a chemistry wet laboratory, which contains standard equipment for sample preparation.
