Facilities Overview

The Bard Center maintains a unique user electrochemical research instrumentation facility, allowing researchers from the University of Texas and visitors access to instrumentation and expert help in electrochemical studies. In a single location, the facility makes available electrochemical instruments such as potentiostats, scanning electrochemical microscopes, impedance analyzers, optical profilers, etc., for studying intermediates on electrode surfaces and device test equipment. The Bard CEC facility complements extensive nearby facilities at UT Austin’s Texas Materials Institute (TMI).

The Bard CEC facility is primarily used by research groups and is also available as a user facility for other Texas universities and colleges. A full-time facility manager maintains the facility and assists visitors.

Industrial Affiliate companies may obtain access to these facilities. In some cases, Bard CEC personnel may be able to do measurements for these companies and return data.

The facility is located in Welch Hall, rooms 2.404 and 2.406. 

To schedule time on any of the instruments, please contact our facility manager.
