Chemical instrumentation has become an essential component of both teaching and research in modern chemistry. Few medium-sized universities nationwide can match the extensive collection of state-of-the-art chemical instrumentation currently in use in the Department of Chemistry at Marshall University.<\/p>\n
The acquisition of the instruments listed below has allowed the university to provide a technologically capable environment for teaching chemistry and for carrying out research in the chemical sciences.<\/p>\n
