EQUIPMENT
Our department maintains state-of-the-art teaching laboratories. Our laboratory equipment is listed below.
Gas Absorber
The gas absorber flows liquids and gassed through pack columns in order to transfer chemical substances from one to the other. ...
uPrint 3-D Printer
This printer extrudes melted polymer onto a stage to create 3-D objects. ...
Temperature Baths
Temperature baths are used to keep samples or circulating liquids at a constant temperature. ...
Spray Dryer
The spray dryer uses compressed air and high temperatures to atomize liquid slurries and create dried particulate product. ...
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
The shell and tube heat exchanger transfers heat from pressurized steam to water. ...
Pycnometer
Pycnometers are used, in conjunction with scales, to measure the density of known volumes of samples contained within them. ...
Photobioractor
The Photobioreactor is used to study the growth of photosynthetic microorganisms, such as algae and cyanobacteria. ...
Osmometer
The osmometer measures the osmotic strength of a solution my measuring the force felt on a semi-permeable membrane separating the solution from pure solvent. ...
Incubator
The Incubator maintains a constant temperature for growing cell cultures. ...
