---|---|---|---|
![]() Fume CupboardsWe have 6 single and 3 double fume cupboards that are allocated two hot-stirrer plates and a 3-line Schlenk per chemist. High-vac & low-vac pumps, nitrogen or argon atmosphere, and water valves. | ![]() Schlenk LinesEvery fume cupboard comes with at least one 3-line Schlenk (doubles come with two!) | ![]() Rotary EvaporatorsWe have 3 total in the lab (Büchi). | ![]() Analytical BalancesWe have 6 total in the lab, down to 0.01 mg tolerances. |
![]() Corner bench, East wing | ![]() CombiFlash Rf+ Chromatography SystemAutomated chromatography for enhanced normal phase and reverse phase separations with 200-800 nm detection. Saves solvent, saves immobile phase (eg silica). Hooked up to the Durham network for remote control from your desk. | ![]() CentrifugeHigh-G centrifuge for up to 8 samples (50 mL each) (ThermoScientific) | ![]() CryostatFor controlled low-temperature reactions (ThermoScientific) |
![]() Potentiostat | ![]() Drying OvensWe have three total in CG233. |
