List of Laboratories Administered by Chemical Technology Program

Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010S
Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry system offering high throughput and excellent productivity for routine analysis applications. The GCMS-QP2010S features the fastest quadrupole on the market coupled with a GC with advanced flow control and unique Constant Linear Velocity for optimal chromatographic resolution. Software is equipped with a NIST library.
Teledyne Tekmar Stratum PTC Purge & Trap
The purge and trap concentrator, with a 72 sample autosampler, leads the way laboratories perform Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) testing. The system's "heart & soul" is the Teledyne Hastings Mass Flow Controller which allows a instantaneous change to the gas flows and pressures at any time during the Purge & Trap process.
Varian AA 240FS & VGA 77
The Varian Atomic Absorption (AA) 240FS brings the productivity and speed of analysis of ICP-OES to AA. Just like an ICP-OES, the AA 240FS measures all elements in each sample, before progressing to subsequent samples. Conventional AA systems still determine one element at a time, repeating all samples for each element in turn. The AA 240FS provides complete results for each sample within minutes. The instrument is also equipped with VGA 77 (Cold Vapor Attachment) allowing analysis of mercury and other hydride forming elements at the parts per billion (ppb) levels.
Shimadzu HPLC LC-20 Series
High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) includes a quaternary LC 20AT pump, variable volume mixer, vacuum degasser, with a dual wavelength UV-VIS detector (wavelength range of 190 - 700 nm) equipped with a temperature controlled flow cell. The HPLC system also includes a SIL-HTC autosampler, allowing 120 samples to be maintained at 4oC. The HPLC operates with the LCSolutions software package.
Metrohm IC 883
The Metrohm 883 Basic IC Plus is an intelligent, very compact ion chromatograph (IC) for training and routine applications. Housing three IC systems, the 883 allows quantitative and qualitative testing of anions, cations, organic acids, and other polar substances with and without chemical suppression. The laboratory also houses a large assortment of cation and anion columns and a 36 sample autosampler for these instruments. The IC operates with the MagICnet software package.
Metrohm 808 Titrando
The Metrohm 808 Titrando is a high-end titrator with a built-in buret drive. The titrator is suited for dynamic and monotonic titration, endpoint titration, measurements with ion-sensitive electrodes, dosing functions, and liquid handling. The titrando is also equipped with a Ca+2 ISE and operates with the Tiamo 1.2 software package.
