Teaching Labs

Biochemistry Biochemistry

The Biochemistry teaching lab is located in the first floor of The Center for Natural Science.

Physical Chemistry Physical Chemistry

General Chemistry General C h emistry

There are two General Chemistry Labs, each with 24 work stations. Each Student has an individual bench top hood. In addition each lab is equipped with two 5ft hoods, an oven and Infrared spectrophotometers.

Quantitative Analysis Quantitative Analysis

The Quantitative Analysis Lab is located on the second floor of The Center for Natural Sciences.  This lab has 24 work stations with small hoods built in at each work station.  In addition, there are two large hoods.  The  balance room  and  computer lab  are right next door to the  Quant Lab .

Organic Chemistry Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry Labs have 18 individual hoods (4 ft wide). One of the hoods/ work station is wheel chair accessible. A central instrument area is equipped with IR spectrophotometers and Gas Chromatographs.
