Tour of IWU Chemistry Department
Teaching Labs
Biochemistry
The Biochemistry teaching lab is located in the first floor of The Center for Natural Science.
General Chemistry
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.
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.
Physical Chemistry
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 .
