Facilities

Our laboratories occupy approximately 1300 square feet of newly-renovated space on the 1st floor of Sweeney Hall on Iowa State University campus. This space includes a wet laboratory equipped for air-free chemistry as well as a device preparation laboratory. Click on a picture below to interact.

Wet Lab

  • Two new fume hoods.
  • Schlenk line.
  • Perkin-Elmer Lambda 650 UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer with Integrating Sphere.
  • ModularOcean Optics Jaz spectrometer for visible absorbance, photoluminescence, electroluminescence.
  • Centrifuges.
  • Four-port LC Technologies Glovebox with -40˚C freezer, centrifuge, and solvent purification system.

Device Lab
