WashU has a variety of research facilities across both of our campuses. Find out how they might support your work.
Analytical Biogeochemistry Laboratory
The Analytical Biogeochemistry Laboratory is a resource for soil, water, and plant analyses.
Biology Department Imaging Facility
The Departmental Imaging Facility includes two Laser Scanning Confocal Fluorescent microscopes, a computational deconvolution fluorescent microscope, a three-channel (DAPI-GFP-Texas Red) epifluorescent microscope and wetlab facilities for sample slide preparation.
Center for Metabolomics & Isotope Tracing (CMIT)
CMIT provides a solution for all of your metabolic needs. Technologies currently available include: GC/MS and LC/MS workflows; EI, ESI, DESI, and MALDI sources; time-of-flight and Orbitrap analyzers; trapped ion mobility spectrometry and traveling wave ion mobility spectroscopy; NMR spectrometers; and high-resolution respirometers.
Chemical and Environmental Analysis Facility (CEAF)
CEAF is an open, shared instrument facility that supports the chemical and environmental aspects of research in areas such as engineering, earth and planetary sciences, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. CEAF offers advice on sample preparation, quality control, data interpretation, equipment acquisition and analysis of samples.
Chemistry Department Glass Shop
The chemistry glass shop provides for the construction of special Pyrex and quartz glass laboratory apparatus.
Chemistry Department Machine Shop
Our machine shop is a fully equipped machine shop with computer controlled milling machines and computer controlled lathe.
Chemistry Department Storeroom
The storeroom supplies general chemicals, glassware, apparatus, and miscellaneous supplies.
EPSC Microanalysis Facility
The Microanalysis Facility includes several pieces of equipment available for outside use: Electron Microprobe, X-Ray Diffractometer, and Micro X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer.
Facilities at Tyson Research Center
Tyson’s infrastructure (including a research garden, forest plots, ponds, and more) supports a variety of research and education activities in both laboratory and field settings.
High-Resolution NMR Facility
The chemistry department is home to state-of-the-art laboratories, teaching areas, and flexible spaces that foster collaboration. The High-Resolution NMR Facility houses five modern multi-nuclear spectrometers.
Jeanette Goldfarb Plant Growth Facility
This 10,000 square foot facility consists of support space, greenhouses and a growth chamber facility. The two upper floors contain environmental growth chambers—computer controlled environments that are programmed by the staff.
