and Trisha using the Varian INOVA Unity 300-NB NMR Spectrometer.
This 300 MHz NMR is a mid-field instrument equipped for
variable temperature, inverse detection and broad band studies.
With this instrument, up to 60% of the elements in the periodic
table can be observed. Another view that shows the entire
instrument:
If you are not familiar with what instruments cost, you
may be surprised! This nmr spectometer cost almost $300,000
and was paid for by a grant (written by Dr. Hulce) from
the National Science Foundation.

Pat is working on the Varian Carey 3 Ultraviolet/visible
Spectrophotometer. This instrument can be used for
a variety of studies including reaction kinetics.
Most of these instruments are used by the chemistry
majors, although freshmen and sophomores use some
sophisticated equipment in their laboratory coursework
as well.
