-This is the general chemistry lab.

-There are 3 ~ 20' lab benches (designed for 24 students).

-There are 2 - 6' fume hoods with services (air, vac, N2, water, natural gas).

-Side benches (6 top-loading balances, 200 g max).

-There are sinks one the side benches.

-RO water taps at sinks.

-power, vac, gas, air services on benches.

-Instructor's computer station with projection screen on whiteboards (~16')

1) 4 - Steam distillation setups with small water pumps for condenser...complete and functional.

2) 8 - additional "reservoir flasks" (top part of distillation setup).

3) 8 - additional receivers (where to oil is collected).

4) 4 - "cleanout" sticks to remove plant material.

5) Soxlet Extractor (if desired) A student of mine has been using this for extracting curcuminoids from turmeric...it is neat to watch.

6) full lab drawers with glassware and iron ware/ring stands.

7) dried plant material (basal, others???)
