Department Facilities
X-Ray Structure Determination Facility
Users within the University, as well as external academic users, are welcome to use the facility, which consists of a Nonius CAD-4 linear diffractometer and a Bruker-Nonius Kappa Apex II CCD instrument, equipped with Mo and Cu radiation sources. All inquiries should be directed to Prof. Bruce M. Foxman, foxman1@brandeis.edu, 781-736-2532. Upon request, details of crystal mounting requirements or service and other issues will be sent to you by email. For additional information, visit the x-ray website.
Instrumentation
NMR facilities in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments
Other instrumentation available, both in the department facility and in individual faculty members' laboratories, includes ESR, CD, mass and GC/mass spectrometers, and computerized UV-visible and a Fourier-Transform IR spectrometers. Controlled atmosphere dry boxes, continuous flow stirred tank reactors, gas and liquid chromatography equipment, and a variety of laser sources are available to students.
Machine Shop
The Machine Shop is available for custom
fabrication work. The shop is located in Kalman Room 3 and Frank Mello, extension 6-4355,
is the Machine Shop Operator. All
projects should be discussed with Frank to decide their feasibility.
If it is a project that Frank can accomplish, a Lab Supply
requisition needs to be filled out, assigned a chargeline, signed by
the PI, and turned into the Chemistry office for processing.
