Varian Mercury 300
Instrumentation
The Department has common instrumentation in instrument rooms, for use in both undergraduate and
research laboratories. Tabletop equipment includes HPLC, GC, GCMS, AA, FTIR, UV-Vis.
Our research laboratories have CFI and NSERC-funded infrastructure that is specific to
the research we do here in Regina:
