Departmental Facilities and Laboratories

Glassblowing Facility
The Glassblowing Facility provides highly specialized support for teaching and research operations. Trained professionals design, construct and maintain sophisticated glass apparatus and glass high vacuum systems.

Proteomics and Protein Chemistry Laboratory
Services provided by the facility include molecular mass determinations by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, protein sequencing by automated Edman degradation. Other services include solid phase peptide synthesis using Fmoc chemistry, and amino acid analysis. 
Ultrafast Laser Facility
The facility provides advanced laser technologies and instruments for spectroscopic and imaging measurements to observe chemical reactions in real time.

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry(HRMS) is a state of the art mass spectrometry facility whose primary function is to serve the needs of the ASU research community.  A secondary focus is to provide fee-based MS services to the research community at large, both industrial and academic. 

Magnetic Resonance Research Center
The Magnetic Resonance Research Center provides the most-advanced instrumentation in Arizona for the structural characterization of proteins, biomimetic compounds, new drugs, and novel new materials.  

Multi-Anvil High Pressure Laboratory
The laboratory has multi-anvil equipment that is capable of reaching pressures up to 25 gigapascals (GPa) and temperatures in excess of 2000 °C. The applications include inorganic chemistry, and Earth and planetary sciences.

XRay Diffraction Laboratory
This facility provides a variety of services including single crystal structural analysis, identification of materials, crystal orientation, and more.

Protein X-ray Crystallography Facility
The facility provides the instrumentation and expertise to solve 3-dimensional structures of proteins with X-ray diffraction techniques

Electronics and Computer Support Facility
This facility provides broad areas of expertise including computer hardware and configuration support; systems, applications and network software support; scientific instrumentation repair; and instrument design and modification.

Learning Resource Center (LRC)
The LRC provides the help with chemistry and biochemistry courses. TAs hold their office hours here.

Graduate Student Computer Lab
The lab houses 12 computer workstations, one instructor station with a projector, one regular printer and one large-scale plotter. The computers are equipped with a wide variety of chemistry software and databases.
