different classes of organics and semiconductor quantum dots. To aid in the accurate determination of these nonlinearities, precise sample preparation must be performed by several standard chemical techniques. For this purpose we have two chemical preparation labs used for sample preparation, wet-chemistry, and storage of many solvents. Our sample preparation and wet-chemistry is performed in three chemical fume hoods (two 3\u2019 and one 6\u2019). Samples, solvents, and other chemicals are stored in five chemical storage cabinets (two 16-gallon, two 30-gallon, and one 45-gallon capacities). An analytical balance capable of accurately measuring &lt; 1mg to 110g is also used in our prep labs which also house storage for many standard supplies to aid in sample preparation.<\/p><\/div><\/form>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-636c373 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"636c373\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92e9183 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"92e9183\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"385\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2137\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep3.jpg 385w, https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep3-170x300.jpg 170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-363bef8 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"363bef8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1ef842 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b1ef842\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"251\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2136\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep2.jpg 251w, https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-504c59a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"504c59a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2135\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep1.jpg 225w, https:\/\/creol.ucf.edu\/nlo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/08\/ChemPrep1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NLO Chemical Preparation Lab The NLO Group studies the nonlinearities of various materials including many different classes of organics and semiconductor quantum dots.
