X-Ray Analytical Facility

Located in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry room 4608 PSB-N, the X-ray lab has the instrumentation to perform small-molecule single-crystal and powder-diffraction experiment.
Access Procedure: 

To schedule an experiment, users should contact the lab staff.  Periodically, the X-ray lab organizes group training in instrument operation and data analysis.  Individual training is also available upon request.
