Department Instrumentation
Instruments may have been purchased by the department, typically to be used for both teaching and routine research applications. The division that uses the instrument for teaching purposes is in charge. A faculty member in that division should be contacted by potential users.
Instruments in this category include:
- Agilent 7820A GC, S/SL inlet, FID, TCD (Analytical)
- Agilent MP-AES 4210 atomic emission spectrometer (Analytical)
- Bausch & Lomb Spectronic 20 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Analytical)

Faculty Instrumentation
Several major instruments belong to specific research groups in the department. These instruments have usually been partially or fully purchased with funds granted to the faculty member in charge. This faculty member sets the policy regarding instrument use. Faculty will often let outside researchers use their instruments or run samples on them if this does not interfere with their group's ongoing research. A graduate student interested in using one of these instruments should contact the faculty in charge:
- SLM spectrofluorometer (Seitz)
- rapid diode array spectrophotometer (Chasteen)
- EPR and ENDOR spectrometers (Chasteen)
- slab electrophoresis equipment (Chasteen)
