Federal Agency Donates Lab Instruments to GC Sciences

Published: April 13, 2021

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administrations Chicago lab has donated scientific instruments valued at $300,000 to Greenville College for use in its science labs.

The four instruments are all top-of-the-line and fully functional according to Professor of Chemistry Darrell Iler, director of STEM programs at GC.

GCs chemistry program prioritizes extensive hands-on experience with advanced instrumentation for all students, beginning in freshman year courses.

And, though small class sizes make this experience possible for chemistry students, Iler said that keeping the departments suite of instruments up to date is always challenging.

We are very well equipped for a small school, but in the last two or three years weve been more concerned because of aging equipment, he explained. This donation helps considerably.

This spring, Iler will teach a course in instrumental analysis where students will have the opportunity to use all four instruments.
