The Chemistry Department teaching and research missions are supported by the Chemistry Instrumentation Facility, as well as several research facilities available across campus. 

Chemistry Instrumentation Facility

The chemistry instrumentation facility was recently renovated and includes state-of-the art instruments available for undergraduate use in our Chemistry Laboratories. Several instruments are also available to the campus community for research use. The instruments are overseen by our Engineer, James Faulk (jdf4@case.edu, 216-368-3589).
