Instrument Projects of Ken Overway

Bridgewater College Chemistry Department

The Bridgewater Chemistry Department has a wide variety of instruments available to students and faculty. Some of the instruments were purchased new and others were gifts from various industrial companies via alumni. Below are the instruments and their stories. The purpose is to provide a means to help other departments that may have older instruments which need to be interfaced with a computer and to provide a means to garner help from others who may have been successful at making these non-functional instruments operational.
