The staff at J-STAR Research is pleased to announce our move to a new site. The new laboratories occupy 6000 sq. ft. of space in South Plainfield, New Jersey. The new site provides a pleasant, suburban working environment within easy access to many restaurants and shopping centers. Improved access and parking has also been realized by our new site's proximity to major highways (route 287, the GSP, the NJ Turnpike, route 22 and route 1). Please click here for directions

Move Complete

Included in the new space is a larger conference room with video conferencing capabilities. Also on site is a 300 MHz Varian NMR with access for all chemists. Construction at the site is more than half complete. The site now contains a main laboratory with six 8 ft. fume hoods. A second smaller laboratory of 400 sq. ft. is isolated for GMP work and houses one 8 ft. bench hood and an 8 ft. walk-in fume hood.
The custom designed fume hoods at J-STAR are extra deep and high, permitting operations up to 22 liters to be run inside the walk-in hood space. The hoods were fabricated using materials normally found on laboratory bench tops, completely inert to chemicals, and extremely sturdy.
The GMP laboratory contains equipment for larger operations (up to 72 liters). In addition to the extra deep walk-in fume hood, a 20 liter rotovap and a large capacity vacuum oven (4.5 cu. ft.) make operations at the kilo-scale possible.

The entire laboratory and each fume hood is supported by centralized services with a chilled water system, steam source, individual vacuum pumps, dry nitrogen, and compressed air up to 100 psi.
Construction on the remaining space is slated for completion by March 2000. This will add an additional seven bench hoods and two walk-in fume hoods. A second isolated GMP area is part of this new construction.
