Chemistry InstrumentationThe School of Chemistry houses a wide range of instrumentation available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and staff members for teaching and research purposes. This instrumentation is located in the School's teaching and research laboratories, as well as the laboratories of ACROSS.
Chemistry Building, Map Reference AR19
The instrumentation available within the School of Chemistry include:
These instruments are mainly contained in instrument laboratories where technical assistance is available on request. The Australian Centre for Research On Separation Science houses state of the art ThermoFisher Scientific (Dionex) and Waters liquid chromatographs and Aglient capillary electrophoresis systems. These systems are used primarily for research purposes, however both teaching and consultation activities are undertaken using these resources. Further details are available on the ACROSS web site.
Chemistry Building
The teaching computing facilities within the school consist of a computer laboratory available to chemistry students, which is serviced by a dedicated server. This laboratory is open during normal working hours.
A variety of general and academic software, including computer aided instruction programs, is available on these computers.
This laboratory is used for student work and undergraduate teaching and short course purposes. The school also contains a 28 processor parallel computing network which can be employed to perform system intensive tasks and calculations.
This resource is primarily for research and consultation purposes, but could also be utilised for teaching and training applications.
