J.D. McCullough X-ray Facility
James Douglas McCullough was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa on May 17, 1905 and grew up in Seattle.
The Mass Spectrometry Facility
The Mass Spectrometry Facility has one GCMS, one MALDI-MS, one DART-MS, one ICP-MS, one LC-TOF, two LC-QTOF, two LC-triple Quads, and one LC-orbitrap instruments for qualitative and quantitative analyses.
The Materials Characterization Laboratory
The Materials Characterization lab offers thermal, optical, microscopic, electrical and magnetic characterization of materials and elemental analysis of surfaces via a wide range of instruments including spectrophotometers, optical and electron microscopes, a SQUID magnetometer, and an X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometer among many other characterization tools.
High Throughput Synthesis and Catalysis Facility
The High Throughput Synthesis and Catalysis Facility has two automated chemical experimentation systems designed to accelerate molecular discovery through high throughput techniques. The robotic systems are housed in an inert purge box, and capable of automating solid and liquid handling, as well as reaction processing in high volume, comprehensive synthetic chemistry screens.
