| Atomic
Absorption
Spectrometer
SpectrAA 220FS (Varian) Equipped with Graphite Furnace, Autosampler, SIPS, and VGA This instrument is used to detect metals in samples at a
concentration
of 1 part per million and lower.
|
 |
| Fourrier
Transform
Infrared Spectrometer
Perkin Elmer 16 PC This instrument detects a molecule's absorption of infrared
light.
Infrared light causes molecules to vibrate. This instrument is
used
to determine a molecule's structure and identity based on the types of
vibrations the molecule possesses.
|
 |
| Ultraviolet
/ Visible
Spectrometer
Perkin Elmer Lambda 2 This instrument is used to
measure
the absorption of visible and ultraviolet light. Molecules absorb
these wavelengths of light and undergo electronic excitation.
|
|
| Spectrofluorimeter
Shimadzu RF 5301 PC This instrument is used to
measure
the emmision of visible and ultraviolet light from molecules that have
been optically excited to electronic excited states. Molecules
emit
light when they make transitions from excited states to the ground
electronic
state.
|
|
| Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance
This instrument is used to
determine
the chemical structure of molecules. It aids in the determination
of hydrogen and carbon attachments in molecules.
|
|
| Capillary
Electrophoresis
Lumex Capel 103R This Instrument is used to separate molecules in a capillary
based on
their size and the electrical charge that they posses.
|
 |
| Gas Chromatography (Mass Spectrometer
Detector)
Hewlett Packard HP6890 GCMS This instrument separates molecules based on their polarity
and boiling
point. It detects the separated molecules by analyzing the mass
of
each component.
|
 |
| Gas Chromatography (flame
ionization and
electron capture detectors)
Perkin Elmer Autosystem This instrument separates molecules based on their polarity
and boiling
point. The electron capture detector enables the detection of
halogenate
molecules.
|
|
| Gas Chromatography (flame ionization and thermal
conductivity
detectors)
Shimadzu GC 14A This instrument separates molecules based on their polarity
and boiling
point. It is used for preparative GC (separating molecules
without
destroying them so that they can be used in subsequent experiments).
|
 |
| Ion Exchange Chromatography
Dionex This instrument separates molecules based on the electrical
charge that
they posses. It detects the molecules by electrochemical and
conductivity
detection.
|
 |
| High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Agilent 1100 Series Equipped with diode array and refractive index detectors <>This instrument separates aqueous molecules based on size, molecular weight, polarity, and charge. It detects the separated molecules by examining the visible and ultraviolet absorption of the molecules or by detecting the refractive index of the molecules. List of Instruments </> |
 |
| Differential Scanning Calorimeter
Dupont (DSC 10) Equipped with Thermal gravimetric analyzer (951 TGA) This instrument measures the behavior of materials upon the
addition
of heat. It is used to identify molecules and characterize properties
of
polymers.
|
|
| Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization
Bruker This instrument is used to analyze biomolecules (biopolymers
such as proteins, peptides and sugars) and large organic molecules
(such as polymers, dendrimers and other macromolecules).
