Hands-On Instructional Equipment

Our program not only provides the theoretical basis for principles of sample preparation and forensic instrumentation, but provides hands-on training with actual teaching-dedicated equipment.  Students exercise with these instruments different separation techniques, partitioning chemistry and detection methods toward identification of unknown sample drugs. The exercises also include equipment maintenance and trouble-shooting.  The hands-on instruction prepares students toward their internship experiences.
