Chemistry Program Equipment
Teaching and research laboratories and private research laboratories utilize modern instrumentation including:
- High performance liquid chromatography systems with UV/Vis and electrochemical detectors
- Gas chromatography instruments with flame ionization
- Gas chromatography/mass spectrometer
- Single-beam, double-beam and diode array UV/Vis spectrometers
- Fourier transform infrared spectrometer
- Electrochemistry work station for cyclic voltammetry and coulometry
- Atomic absorbance/atomic emission spectrometer with flame, graphite furnace, and hydride generation atomizers
- Computer controlled thermogravimetric analyzer and calorimetric analyzer
- Low temperature photon counting fluorimeter for solid and gas samples
- High precision scanning fluorimeter
Additionally, students have access to computer software for quantum mechanical and thermodynamic computations, molecular mechanics and results rendering, statistical analysis and graphical presentation of data as well as presentation software for talks and seminars.
Safety Management Guidelines
The McCoy College of Science, Mathematics and Engineering is committed to providing a safe environment for our students, faculty and staff to learn, conduct research and collaborate. Safety is one of the most important human needs, and without it we cannot create a productive working and learning environment.
The areas of important safety concern are linked below. Links take you to more resources, manuals and forms.
For ensuring use, storage and disposal of chemicals to ensure the safety of human health and the environment.
For protecting individuals working in the laboratory from chemical, biological, physical and safety hazards.
For ensuring safety during work, study and/or research by faculty, staff or students at a site other than the MSU Texas campus. This typically includes outdoor field experiences, although may include visits to indoor facilities such as greenhouses and testing facilities.
For ensuring safety during the use and disposal of radioactive materials (RAM) and radiation-producing devices (RPD).
For promoting a safe educational and work environment. Managed through Environmental Health, Safety, and Risk Management program at MSU Texas.
