Facilities & Centers

We are committed to the philosophy that students and faculty need access to the most current techniques and instruments, and we receive strong university and external funding to update equipment as the science evolves. From a state-of-the-art instrument shop to an internationally renowned crystallography lab, the IU Department of Chemistry provides an unparalleled support network for graduate research.

Beyond the department, Indiana University’s stellar information technology environment offers outstanding support. Recognized as one of the nation's most "unwired" college campus, Indiana University's technology environment provides nearly city-wide wireless access, state-of-the-art classrooms, outstanding technology labs, and research facilities which are available 24-hours.

Mechanical Instrument Services
The mechanical instrument services are organized to encourage students to learn to think outside the box - beyond apparatus that is available to apparatus that is possible. [More...]

Electronic Instrument Services
The Electronic Instrument Services (EIS) designs, modifies, constructs, and repairs chemical and electronic instrumentation. [More...]

Glass Shop
Both routine and unique glassware are fabricated in the Glass Shop, staffed by a professional glassblower. [More...]

Information Technology Group
"Our mission is to provide information solutions, enabling students, staff and faculty at IUB Chemistry to effectively meet their goals in a world-class learning and research community." [More...]

Mass Spectrometry Facility
Since 1965, the Mass Spectrometry Facility (MSF) has existed to provide top-quality mass spectrometry support to the faculty research groups of the IUB Chemistry Department. We specialize in walk-up mass spectrometry and accurate mass spectrometry support. [More...]

Molecular Structure Center
The Molecular Structure Center (IUMSC) has an international reputation in small molecule crystallography and is used extensively by faculty and students in the department. [More...]

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility
The NMR facility has four Varian high-resolution NMR spectrometers equipped for a variety of solution-state experiments. [More...]

Physical Biochemistry Instrumentation Facility
This facility facilitates and encourages research into the structures, stabilities, and interactions of biomolecules and provides a centralized resource for training and education in modern physical biochemistry. [More...]

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Room
The Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Room is equipped with a Bruker EMX X-band EPR spectrometer with liquid-helium low temperature (down to 4K) accessories. [More...]

METACyt Biochemical Analysis Center
MBAC is to promote the uses of biomolecular structural analysis and bioanalytical measurements in wide-ranging life sciences research activities on the Bloomington campus and within the IU Medical School. [More...]

National Center for Glycomics and Glycoproteomics
Supported by NIH-National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), the National Center for Glycomics and Glycoproteomics is devoted to the development of new methodologies and instrumentation in glycomics, proteomics, and glycoproteomics. [More...]

Center for Cell and Virus Theory
The Center for Cell and Virus Theory is a research institute, the main objective of which is to develop mathematical and computational models of the physical and chemical processes underlying cell and virus behavior. [More...]

Linda and Jack Gill Center for Biomolecular Science
The Linda and Jack Gill Center for Biomolecular Science (GCBS) was established to advance the understanding of complex biological processes and to train next generation scientists in state-of-the-art biomolecular measurements, especially in the field of neuroscience. [More...]

Indiana Instrumentation Institute (III)
The Indiana Instrumentation Institute (III) was established to formalize and strengthen existing relationships between Purdue University and Indiana University, and state industry, in the area of scientific instrumentation. [More...]
