Trying Out New Equipment

Scott Brown, junior chemistry major, manipulates data using the Shimadzu UV-2101PC UV-VIS Scanning Spectrophotometer, which was donated to the chemistry department by the DPS Crime Lab in Tyler, while Danjela Stojanovic, junior chemistry major, prepares a new sample for analysis. Ladona Cook, senior laboratory technician, provides support in learning the operation of the new instrument. The chemistry department also recently acquired a Shimadzu Model FTIR-8400S Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer. Both instruments are used in upper level chemistry courses to determine the composition of samples synthesized in the laboratory.

Scott Brown, junior chemistry major, and Sean Butler, senior chemistry major, learn to operate IRsoultion software that is interfaced with the chemistry department's new Shimadzu FTIR-8400S infrared spectrophotometer, as senior laboratory technician Ladona Cook looks on. Mandy Wilson, junior biology major, and Manuel Zancanella, senior chemistry major, learn the proper positioning of a sample in the sampling compartment.
