The Chemistry Research Facility offers analytical services, including Mass Spectrometry (MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These services are run by specialist technical managers able to support your research work through experimental design, optimisation, and data interpretation. In addition, the facility can provide training in the theory and application of these techniques

Included in the service is access to state-of-the-art equipment such as Q-TOF HRMS, GCMS, MALDI-TOF/TOF, 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, and powder-XRD, all located within the Department of Chemistry, Britannia House. Applications for these instruments span from routine analysis, such as accurate mass measurements and structural characterisation, to more bespoke applications available on request.
