Boyd Science Center Laboratory Facilities

The heart of scientific research and study at PSU is the Boyd Science Center. The University’s proximity to the lakes, rivers and mountains of New Hampshire gives students access to a unique natural laboratory.  Small class sizes mean a favorable student to faculty ratio, with  faculty focused on undergraduate education.

Resources in the department include:

  • Sophisticated instruments such as Jeol NMR, Dionex HPLC with autosampler and multi-angle light scattering laser, PerkinElmer FTIR with ATR, 2D electrophoresis, MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer, Agilent GC-MS, Shimadzu UV, Varian AAE flame spectrometer
  • Dedicated space for student research
  • Multimedia technology resources
  • Wireless Internet access
  • Center for the Environment with additional instruments which include Dionex Ion Chromatograph and Varian graphite furnace AA
