Facilities

The forensic chemistry laboratory is located within the Chemistry building and includes lab space, office space, and a computer lab. The major instrumentation available in the forensic chemistry lab includes an Agilent 6890 GC with 5975 (quadrupole) MSD, a Milestone Ethos EZ microwave digestion/extraction system, Olympus BX-41 and a BX-51 polarizing light microscopes, a CRAIC QD2010 microspectrophotometer (UV-vis-NIR), and a Perkin Elmer FTIR system with ATR sampling accessory.

Elsewhere on campus, numerous instrumentation facilities are available to forensic chemistry students. Examples include the Department of Chemistry (FTIR, GC-FID, GC-ECD, GC-TCD, fluorescence spectrometers, UV-visible spectrometers, ICP-OES, FAAS), the Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core (MALDI-MS, ESI-MS, LC-MS/MS), and the Center for Advanced Microscopy (confocal, scanning, and transmission microscopy).
