The Chemistry Research Facility offers analytical services, including both Mass Spectrometry (MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These services are run by specialist instrument technicians 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.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
NMR is an analytical technique that uses radiofrequencies to measure the properties of nuclei in a chemical sample. There are many applications for NMR, from characterising synthetic products to probing the physical properties of materials.
Mass Spectrometry (MS)
MS is an analytical technique that measures the mass to charge ratio of ions. This can be used to determine the mass of a compound, to investigate structural properties of a compound and many other applications.
X-ray Diffraction (XRD)
XRD is an analytical technique that can be used for crystal structure determination and phase identification of a crystalline material. XRD has a wide range of applications in material science, chemistry, biology and solid-state physics.
