Lab 312
Located on the third floor of the laboratory building of the Department of Chemistry at UFSC.
Organic Synthesis Laboratory. It has a safe structure for the synthesis of organic molecules and materials, with the basic items: glassware, heating and stirring plates, exhaust hoods, precision scales, high-vacuum lines, inert atmosphere lines, rotary evaporators, solvent distillers organics, greenhouses and high pressure reactors. It also includes the reagents store.
Equipment Room
Located at the back of laboratory 312. It contains two UV-Vis spectrophotometers with multicuvette platforms for simple and kinetic analyses, as well as an ultrasonic probe reactor, high-efficiency liquid chromatograph, equipment for determining melting point, computers, among others. It has a separate space for BET and TPD/TPR adsorptimeters for characterizing solid materials and a precision balance.
Molecular Fluorescence Lab (FLASH)
Located after the Equipment Room. It houses static and time-resolved fluorescence equipment, as well as another model of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It contains hoods for reactions that use a batch reactor or photoreactor, as well as space for preparing samples with precision balances and micropipettors, in addition to analytical and specific grade glassware. It features a separate room with study tables and laser pulse photolysis equipment.
Study Room
Located between the Synthesis Laboratory and the Equipment Room, the Study Room has individual cabinets and tables for student work and socializing. It houses the miliQ water systems and computers for collective use for consulting database collections.
Lab 203
Located on the second floor of the laboratory building of the Department of Chemistry at UFSC.
Physical Organic Chemistry Laboratory. It has a room with space for personal items/computer tables and another for experimental work. Equipment for potentiometric titration, densimeter, viscometer and light scattering analysis (DLS).
