About the Lab

The Chemistry Analytical Lab is located on the third floor of Faraday Hall (rooms F314 and F317), a building adjacent to the campus' east lagoon. It houses shared instrumentation of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Northern Illinois University.

Available instruments include:

• Model 215 Circular Dichroism Spectrometer (Aviv Biomedical)
• 2400 Series II CHN Elemental Analyzer (Perkin-Elmer)
• F2500 Fluorescence Spectrometer (Hitachi)
• Vector 22 FT-IR Spectrometer (Bruker)
• ATI Genesis FT-IR Spectrometer (Mattson)
• LCQ Advantage LC-MS (Thermo)
• OmniFLEX MALDI-TOFMS (Bruker)
• 300 MHz Avance III NMR Spectrometer (Bruker)
• 500 MHz Avance III NMR Spectrometer (Bruker)
• System 2000 Microfocus Raman Spectrometer (Renishaw)
• Lambda 19DM UV-Vis Spectrometer  (Perkin-Elmer)
• Miniflex Powder X-ray Diffractometer (Rigaku)
• CCD X-Ray Diffractometer (Bruker)

If you have questions about any of these instruments, please contact Dr. Heike Hofstetter either by e-mail (hhofst@niu.edu) or phone (815 753 6865), or drop by at Faraday 314.
