BioInorganic Chemistry at UMKC

David's Virtual Lab

Instrumentation:

Dual gamma spectrometer setup for positron annihilation spectrocopy of bulk samples.

Variable, monoenergetic positron beam for DBES and PALS of thin films and surfaces

Tencor Alphastep 200 Automatic Step Profiler

BAS Epsilon Electrochemical Apparatus with C3 Cell stand
