In October 2002 The Ohio Laboratory for Kinetic Spectrometry was established within the Chemistry Department and in association with the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University. Funding for the instrumentation has been provided by the Ohio Board of Regents through the auspices of the Hayes Investment Fund with matching money from several sources within BGSU. The mission of the Laboratory is to be a kinetic spectrometry resource for university- and industry-based researchers throughout the State of Ohio. The objective is for the Laboratory to provide state-of-the-art instrumentation to the user community, and expert staff to carry out experimental activities as required. In order to learn more about the Laboratory, the personnel, the user community, and the instrumental facilities, please refer to the appropriate pages in this web site.
