X-Ray Facility

The Bruker AXS ApexII is a single crystal diffractometer, offering one of the most powerful techniques to determine material structures. It was installed in 2000 and has since been extensively upgraded.
The Bruker AXS X8 Prospector was installed in 2014. We primarily use it to collect data from the smallest of molecule samples, like DNA, RNA and proteins.
The Bruker AXS D8 Quest was also installed in 2014.

The Structure and Instrumentation facility specializes in the characterization of non-biological materials. Its goal is to serve the educational and research needs of the students and faculty at YSU and at collaborating regional colleges.

In addition to the smaller GC-MS, chromatographic, spectroscopic, physical and analytical instruments, the facility houses:
