Instrumentation and Equipment
One of the advantages of a chemistry or biochemistry education at Kutztown is the extensive hands-on experience with modern laboratory techniques. Throughout the chemistry and biochemistry curricula nearly every required major course has a laboratory component that is taught by faculty with at least a Master’s degree.
Techniques associated with some of the major courses within these curricula are outlined here. The links take you to a more detailed description of the instrumentation.
