Instruments

Our lab is well-equipped with tools for chemical research. The lab is currently located in Physical Science Building 3170 with two 12-feet long fumehoods and benches. In addition to NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS, and GC-MS that are accessible to all researchers, our group also has some important tools in the lab.

Fluorescence Spectrometer FS5.

• The instrument has two detectectors for recording emission and excitation spectra from 300 nm - 1650 nm;
• The instrument has a 150 W Xe lamp for steady-state measurements;
• The istrument has a pulsed diode laser light soruce for recording decay curves in the visibel region;
• The instrument can record the spectra for liquid and solid samples

VTI Glovebox. This is a two gloves system with the following features:

• Autopurging of inert gas
• Automatic pressure control to the the preset pressure
• Autoregeration
• Two antechambers
• Oxygen and moisture monitors

Newport Photovoltaic Measurements Systems.

• I-V measurements
• IPCE measurements

Buchi Rotorevaporator.

• R-100
• R3
