About Us

The Research Instrumentation Facility (RIF) in the department of Chemistry is equipped with a wide variety of instrumentation for chemical analysis including NMR, optical spectroscopy, thermal analysis and GC-MS. Our primary mission is to support the research within this department and the wider University system but we are additionally available to support the analytical chemistry needs of other academic institutions, research laboratories, businesses and individuals. We are available to run samples and compile data or reports as necessary. Please explore these pages and contact Joe Dumais or Sara Basiaga if you have any questions. A brief description of the areas of expertise for each of the facility staff member is listed on the Facility Staff page.
