The instrumentwill be used in the analytical chemistry laboratories (CHE 216 and CHE315/316), the physical chemistry laboratories (CHE 361/363/373), andpossibly the inorganic chemistry laboratories (CHE 251/351).No 1 $23,000 $0 $0 $0 14 $5,000 $28,000PESmall Equipment and Glassware for New UndergraduateLaboratory CoursesCHE 373, Physical Biochemistry Laboratory, is a new laboratory course thatwill be required in the new Biochemistry major. We are now starting toaccumulate equipment and supplies to make this new course a success.No 2 $25,000 $0 $0 $0 14 $6,000 $31,000PEChemical Stockroom Security SolutionA keyless entry system will be installed that allows programmable access tothe Chemistry Stockroom, both by time of day and by individual fob. TheStockroom contains many chemicals that could be used for illegal activitiesif they fell into the wrong hands.
