Organic Instrumentation Laboratory

This room is used for Sophomore-level organic chemistry labs and for Advanced Organic labs. Most of the instrumentation which is used for Organic Chemistry teaching and research resides in this room.

The major pieces of equipment in the Organic Instrumentation Lab are as follows:

Flame Ionization Capillary Gas Chromatographs (2); Hewlett-Packard (Agilent) 5890's

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer [Varian Gemini 200 with a C, H variable temperature probe. A N, P, Si, F probe is also available.]

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometers (2); Mattson Genesis II and Perkin-Elmer 1600

Six computer molecular modeling workstations running MacSpartan

Students analyze the results of their organic chemistry experiments with the help of calculations performed by molecular modeling programs.

An organic chemistry student presents the results of his work to the class.
