Stockroom
The stockroom provides chemicals and supplies for use by the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department in both teaching and research laboratories. The stockroom is the department center for both ordering and receiving, with a large quantity of catalogs used for ordering and reference.
The stockroom is located in the basement of Clippinger Laboratories, Room 079.
It is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is also open at other times if the labs are in operation. The stockroom is closed for lunch from noon to 1 p.m. daily.
The stockroom has an inventory of more than 2,000 different items.
The Stockroom also has copies of MSDS sheets for chemicals in stock. MSDS sheets for other chemicals can be found on the web.
Chemistry NMR
The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facility is a full-service facility in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department, located in Chemistry 132. This facility is maintained and managed under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Roberts . The facility houses both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation.
Bruker Ascend 500
The Bruker Ascend 500 NMR spectrometer is equipped with two solutions probes (BBO and TXI), as well as a solids probe (H/X CP-MAS) which can handle a broad array of experiments for a variety of sample types. Variable temperature (VT) experiments with temperatures ranging from -80 to 150 °C are currently supported. Instrument is available for use both in automated and manual mode.
Thermo Fisher Q Exactive Plus
The Thermo Fisher Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer utilizes an electron spray ionization (ESI) source coupled with an orbitrap mass analyzer. This instrument supports both full MS and MSMS analysis for interested researchers.
Bruker AutoFlex Max MALDI-TOF
The Bruker AutoFlex Max MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer allows researchers to run standard MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry experiments, as well as offers the ability to conduct MALDI imaging.
The facility is available to both internal and external users upon completion of the relevant training course(s). Training workshops are offered regularly for prospective users and advanced one-on-one trainings are available based on user request. Please contact the NMR facility manager for additional information on instrument capability or custom experimental needs.
The department also offers NMR and MS analytical services and sample analyses to users outside of the university community. Please contact Dr. Roberts for further details including cost and sample submission.
