WKU Opens New Lab

Western Kentucky University’s Institute for Combustion Science and Environmental Technology celebrated the grand opening of its new Thermal Analysis Laboratory on Wednesday 9th August.

The Thermal Analysis Laboratory, established in 1987, has evolved into one of the best equipped thermal analysis laboratories in the United States and has developed into an internationally recognized facility.

The facility is used as an instructional lab for physical and materials chemistry courses, as a research facility for 10-15 students each year and has provided analytical services to more than 230 companies, universities and agencies in 30 states.

Analytical results for more than 2,500 samples have been provided to these agencies and to WKU researchers.
