Title

Creating laboratory glassware, 1955

Description

A technician hand-making a piece of laboratory glassware with a torch for heat. Holding a piece of glass rod stock in the torch with one hand, the technician is modifying the glass tube by touching it with a glass rod in the flame. Glass lab ware hangs on the wall behind the technician's work bench.
The Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm offered chemistry classes to its first classes in 1869. The department was formally established in 1871, and served students in Agriculture, Engineering, Science, Home Economics and Veterinary Medicine. The Chemical and Physical Laboratory was constructed in 1870-1871, and after it burned in 1913, a new building, Chemistry Hall, was built to replace it. Department Chair, Winfred Coover (1914-1944) expanded the teaching system and emphasized independent research throughout World War I and the post-war period. With the advent of the Ames Laboratory and World War II, the Chemistry Department further developed its cutting edge and interdisciplinary research programs in addition to its teaching. In 1973, Chemistry Hall was renamed Gilman Hall, in honor of Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Henry Gilman. The Department also has laboratories, classrooms and offices in Hach Hall. The Chemistry Department is now part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University, and also frequently partners with the Ames Laboratory.

Title

Refrigerated super centrifuge, 1951

Description

G. F. Hanna, a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry and a research fellow of the Agricultural Experiment Station, showing the refrigerated super centrifuge along with the refrigerated bath. The room was maintained at a temperature just above freezing and was used in preparation and fractionation of proteins, enzymes and other materials of biochemical importance that are frequently unstable at room temperature. The refrigerated bath provided even lower temperatures that might have been required for certain steps in processing. The super centrifuge rotated at speeds up to 50,000 rpm permitting separations not possible in more conventional centrifuges. Materials undergoing centrifugation could be maintained at low temperatures by circulation of coolant through coils from the refrigerated bath. Research conducted in this facility was sponsored primarily by the Agricultural Experiment Station. It was located in the Biophysical Chemistry Laboratories in Chemistry Hall (now Gilman Hall). This image is very similar to no. 1052-3-3.

Title

Craig Liquid Extraction Apparatus, 1951

Description

Frank Janssen, a graduate student in chemistry, with a Craig Liquid Extraction Apparatus. This apparatus, invented by Dr. Lyman Craig, an Iowa State alumnus, was widely used for separating medicinal and other biologically important materials. It performed in a single series of steps separations that would have taken many hundreds of steps if done using earlier methods. In this instance the apparatus was used to study Vitamin B12 and other important materials in biological chemistry.

The department was formally established in 1871, and served students in Agriculture, Engineering, Science, Home Economics and Veterinary Medicine.
