Facilities
The Department is home to a state of the art NMR facility equipped with 400, 500 and 600 MHz NMRs. A cold room is available for temperature sensitive experiments. The Department machine shop is equipped with a high quality lathe and mill and other ancillary power tools. The Leland Yates Chemistry Stores offers commonly needed laboratory supplies, solvents and chemicals, in addition to handling purchasing for research programs and lab classes.
