CSB 318 Room Description
- -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')
Equipment available in CSB 318
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???)
