The Analytical Chemistry Core Laboratory serves the analytical needs of investigators of center projects. This laboratory also provides technical support for faculty researchers across the College of Science, Engineering and Technology. This Core Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments essential for the health related research projects. This laboratory responds to the needs for obtaining analytical information in a timely manner throughout the year. Instruments are always maintained properly; and an inventory of parts and necessary supplies for running experiments are provided by this laboratory. A lab manager and technician are available for providing support for investigators. Frequent instruction sessions for the use of instruments are offered to investigators by the Laboratory.
