Equipment and facilities in the Department of Chemistry
are designed for student and faculty research and classroom and
laboratory teaching. The department houses four laboratories and an advanced
instrumentation room.
Laboratories and prep rooms are furnished with the
following instruments, all of which are available for research and for course lab work. All students who are properly trained may use
the equipment, which is very unusual and is a highlight of the chemistry
program. In addition to this equipment, the department has use of core research
facilities at Brown University, the University of Rhode Island and Roger
Williams University as part of the INBRE and EPSCoR consortium.
