First paper from the Banerjee group accepted in RSC Sustainability. Congrats, Tim Schwantes et al.!
These are instruments available free of charge to all UG researchers at CSU after the completion of requisite training. They are located mostly at B310/B311 (Chemistry Classic) and Y501/503/508 (Yates). They are under the jurisdiction of Profs DiVerdi, Banerjee, and Piyaratne.
Banerjee lab: VWR UV-visible spectrophotometer, ThermoFisher ATR-IR, Agilent GC-MS, Anton Paar Monowave 400 microwave reactor, ThermoScientific ultracentrifuge, QSonica programmable ultrasonic probe reactor, American Solids ultrasonic bath, Sherwood Scientific Magnetic Susceptibility Balance, and others TBD. This is CSU chemistry's 'inorganic and materials' UG laboratory.
Piyaratne lab: Nanalysis benchtop NMR 60, Agilent GC-FID, Meltemp devices, portable UV-Vis and ATR-IR devices. This is CSU chemistry's 'organic synthesis' UG laboratory.
DiVerdi lab: Cary Eclipse Spectrofluorimeter with Peltier module, AmScope optical microscope, Agilent GC-FID, HPLC-MS, GC-MS, microcalorimeters, and many others. This is CSU chemistry's 'physical chemistry and instrumental analysis' UG laboratory.
These include more 'resource-intensive' equipment such as electron microscopes, fluorescence confocal scopes, P/XRD, XPS, SAXS/WAXS, numerous NMRs, analytical equipment, AFMs, and many others. These are available at ARC, CSU's instrumentation facility, or in other departments such as molecular and radiological biology, engineering, or vet med. They typically require extensive training and may or may not have a small charge associated with their usage, paid by the chemistry department or Dr. Banerjee's grants. We cannot *guarantee* individual training on these instruments, but exposure to, and collaborative research using these will be possible.
