You have access to several research cores and shops that can assist with both the science and instrumentation involved in your research.
Our research core facilities can help you with the science aspect of your research. They provide highly specialized services and sophisticated technical skills and equipment.
The following Chemistry Department resources are available to help you with your research project needs, be it modifying an instrument or installing laboratory accessories.
Ed works directly with faculty and researchers to design and modify existing and new scientific instruments, components, equipment, and systems. He installs new detailed lab cabinetry and support apparatus using plastic, glass, and wood.
There is no charge for labor, only material. His service is available to all departments, faculty, and staff in the sciences.
To request services, send a work request form to ed.ginter@yale.edu, lisa.hines@yale.edu, and chemistry.finances@yale.edu.

The shop, managed by Vincent Bernardo, provides expert conceptual design, custom manufacturing, engineering, and prototyping to enhance research within Chemistry and the broader Faculty of Arts Sciences. Their expertise allows researchers to develop and fabricate designs for custom equipment in support of cutting-edge research.
All of your glass needs, whether it’s standard catalog items, modifications of existing glassware, or new designs, can be acquired from the Yale Glass Shop and will be more affordable than using other sources. The shop is staffed by two glassblowers, Daryl Smith and Preston Smith.
