Our labs are here, in the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Laboratory
of Chemical Synthesis.
This is the group computer room, which is equipped with
state-of-the-art Apple G4 and G5 Desktop machines, Dell PC's,
flat-panel LCD displays, laser printers, color printers, as
well as a scanner.

The group has two HPLC's for chiral separation, complete with
autosamplers and column changers.
We also have four GC's, with autosamplers, which we use for
both analytical and chiral separation purposes.

A silica gel chromatography setup.
Each hood has a rotovap, which is used constantly for
evaporating solvents.
Our Perkin-Elmer Spectrum IR Spectrometer.
Ice machines are located in our hallways.
Fume hoods are spacious and plentiful.
Stills for easily dispensing anhydrous, degassed
solvents.
A small section of the group stockroom - all chemicals are
entered into a computerized inventory system that the entire
department can access.
This is one of the department's four 300 MHz NMR's, which the
group uses often.
