D’Youville’s state-of-the-art facilities offer equipment, research labs, space for study, and a collaborative, supportive culture.
The Pharmacy Research Labs at D'Youville are modeled after a typical biopharma start-up environment and allow professional and student researchers to conduct cutting edge studies and drug candidate evaluations.
Students will find quick and helpful assistance through the lab manager and a dedicated group of peers and faculty to consult.
With multiple specialty labs, team study rooms, and a drug information center, the new D’Youville Academic Center (DAC) combines 21st century education standards with well-equipped offices, lecture halls, laboratories, classrooms, and technology centers.

Featured Pharmacy Research Equipment
Inside of D'Youville's new, modern pharmacy research labs, researchers have access to the equipment necessary to perform trials and testing in a controlled, clinical environment.
Agilent 1100 HPLC/Mass Spectrometer
The Agilent 1100 HPLC/Mass Spectrometer is used to separate and identify, by diode-array UV-Visible detection, components of pharmaceutical products for analytical purposes, and to further identify critical components by molecular weight and structural information. These orthogonal sets of data provide confident compound identification from a single chromatographic.
Location: DAC 509
Agilent 1100 HPLC
The Agilent 1100 HPLC (2) used to separate and identify by diode-array UV-Visible, components of pharmaceutical products for analytical purposes.
Location: DAC 509
Dionix UltiMate 3000 Dionex Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) System
The Dionix UltiMate 3000 Dionex Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) system is used for rapid and concise analytical profiling and quantitation of 1) actives, contaminants and excipients in pharmaceutical formulations; 2) product(s) in complex organic reaction mixtures and 3) actives in natural product extractions. This system has a UV/vis detection system only.
Location: DAC 510
Cary 300 Bio UV-Visible Spectrophotometer
The Cary 300 Bio UV-Visible Spectrophotometer is used for analysis of UV and visible light absorbing organic compounds in pharmaceutical preparations.
Location: DAC 509
Cell Biosciences FluorChem M Image Analysis System
Cell Biosciences FluorChem M Image Analysis System capable of Multicolor Fluorescence, Chemiluminescence, UV Fluorescence, Visible Imaging/Colony Counting, and Blue excited DNA dyes.
Location: DAC 510
