Instrumentation

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the state of the art Patricia A. Sullivan Science Building, a 172,000 ft2 facility that was completed in 2003.  Our facility boasts a vast array of chemical, physical and biochemical instrumentation, including two NMR spectrometers (400 and 500 MHz), an EPR spectrometer, stopped-flow rapid kinetic analysis instrumentation, and microbiology and cell culturing facilities.  We also have access to unique core facilities, the Biomolecular Simulation and Bioinformatics Core Lab, which has outstanding high performance computing capabilities, and the Triad Mass Spectrometry Facility, which is equipped with an impressive array of LC-MS and GC-MS instrumentation, including Orbitrap and ion mobility mass spectrometers.
