Research Opportunities in the Analytical Instrumentation Facility

The Analytical Instrumentation Facility (AIF), located in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, performs pilot or short-term industrial research projects using a wide range of state-of-the-art analytical instruments.

The major instruments and instrumental techniques used in these research projects are: NMR, GC, GC/MS, HPLC, HPLC/MS, DSC, TGA, elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV-VS. Interested students will receive training on the instrumentation if they have no previous experience with it.
