The Department also has a wide array of balances, computers, pH meters, simple spectrophotometers, and other common instruments. Furthermore, specialized labs such as biochemistry have access to research equipment in faculty research labs. Our computational facilities are modern, useful, and available to students. We have a lab with nine 200MHz Pentium based PCs and four 500-MHz PCs, with a wide variety of software for use in all of our courses. Molecular modeling is carried out mostly with a network installation of HyperChem Professional.
Printers are available for color and black and white printing.
We have a joint lab with Physics that has 15 platforms, each with a Macintosh and Pentium class processor. This lab has software directed at students enrolled in introductory Chemistry and Physics classes. We have also installed eight Pentium based machines for the instructional labs where the introductory, analytical, and inorganic labs are taught. The machines are all networked and have direct connections to the Internet. HyperChem and Sybyl molecular modeling programs are available in this lab.
