Lab Tours - IChO2023 Reunion Event

Simply come to our check-in counter and get a ticket to visit a lab you are interested in. See a short preview of the tours below.

Grid containing content elements

Au | The Mass of Things

We give an overview of how to determine the mass of molecules and why there are different definitions of the mass

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00

Br | Organic Synthesis

Tour of an organic synthesis lab equipped with a glovebox

Tour at 17:45, 19:00, 19:30, 20:30, 21:00, 21:30

This group also has a booth on the topic of molecular architecture Booth 1

Cr | Star Wars in the Lab
Shooting at Molecules with Lasers

We show how to produce femtosecond laser pulses and use them to trigger and track chemical reactions from atomic motion to biological timescales. See how experiment can watch molecules move, wiggle, break or change conformation in real time.

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00

Db | Evolving enzymes beyond nature

Enzymes are nature's catalytic machines, but can we evolve enzymes with new-to-nature features? Explore how we use chemistry and molecular biology to study and engineer new enzymes.

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00

This group also has a booth on the topic of enzymes Booth 7

Eu | Illuminating the chemistry of life

Light can come from various sources and is used to investigate what happens inside our cells. Join this tour to explore how we use chemistry and microscopes to illuminate the basic processes of life.

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30

Fe | Chemistry from the Sky

We want to know why plants are different, where it matters for ecology and for people. Phytochemicals play essential roles in ecology and human health. Come learn how we use remote sensing to map plant chemistry in space and to relate it to consequences for ecosystems, and also to the genetic variation underlying these differences.

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00

This group also has a booth on the topic of chemical ecology and spatial genetics Booth 12

Ga | Nano-materials and big machines

You know silicone. Do you also know nano-silicone? Discover how we try to make and process this nano-material for applications in daily life.

extended Tour at 17:45 and 20:00

He | RNA - more than just a Covid vaccine

Chemistry of catalytic and regulatory RNAs (folding, structure, dynamics, mechanism)

This group also has a booth on the topic of RNA chemistry Booth 13

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00

In | See the atomic structure with the help of X-ray analysis

Single crystals allow you to determine their atomic structure.

Tour at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 20:30

Kr | Harvesting energy from the sun

See how to store energy from the sun in chemical bonds by PV electrolysis and photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Tour at 17:45, 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00

Li | Drugs at high field

We will show you the operation of very big magnets to look at very tiny details of molecules. With live demo of a two-dimensional NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) experiment.

Tour at 17:45, 19:00, 20:00
30-40 minutes
