Welcome to the

Microanalytical Chemistry Lab

We believe in thinking differently and in the power of analytical chemistry to change the world. We work hard, every day, to foster an inclusive, collaborative, and productive environment so students can develop to their highest potential through high-quality education and research experiences. We stride to obtain a broad understanding of chemistry, to think critically, to communicate effectively in both oral and written forms, to contribute to the research mission of our University, and (ultimately) to provide the training required to compete in the global market.
