The use of instrumentation is an integral part of the undergraduate course. Teaching labs has a dedicated instrument room specifically for undergraduate use during practical sessions, the same equipment is also used by postgraduates for research outside of normal lab times. Information and specifications on each of the different instruments can be found below as well as detailed instructions on their use. These instructions can also be found alongside the instruments in the instrument room.
Information on accessing data from instrumentation. All instruments provide data in electronic formats only.
Most instrumentation in Teaching Labs is available for use by researchers outside of teaching time.
Some instruments in the department are run on a service basis by members of technical staff. These instruments are not available for undergraduate students to use directly, but samples may be submitted when required. For more information on each service, please speak directly to the technician in charge.
