The Chemistry Department at USF is fully equipped with a wide variety of research instrumentation. New and existing equipment are for both research projects and for hands on use during undergraduate 
teaching labs. For example, organic and inorganic students use a new Varian 500MHz NMR with automatic settings that significantly cut down on the time it takes for results. At the same time, new 2-D and 3-D experiments will become much more routine in faculty research projects. Physical, inorganic, biochemistry and analytical projects now have available a wide array of new instruments including a Cary 5000 UV-vis-NIR, a HBY FluoroMax-4 with built in excited state lifetime measurements, a Nicolet 6700 FT_IR with NXR FT Raman option, a PE EnVision plate reader and an upgraded HP GC-MSD. Other instruments of note in the department are a Shimadzu AAS with 
Autosampler, a PAR 283 Electrochemistry station and four new Varian 430 GCs. The department also has a variety of chemistry software programs for use in our computer lab.
