Chemistry Laboratory

Students conduct hands-on chemistry research using advanced analytical instruments. The lab supports instruction and undergraduate research.

The chemistry labs are academic spaces for chemical synthesis and analysis. With precision glassware, various digital sensors and meters and fume hoods, these labs are equipped for a variety of synthetic and analytical techniques.

Chemistry is an important foundational course to understand atomic theory, solution chemistry, chemical reactivity, states of matter, lab safety, data collection and experimental analysis. These labs provide hands-on learning spaces for students taking Physical Sciences and Engineering courses.
