Facilities

Bedson Building teaching labNew equipment available in the Centre includes:

  • 400MHz multinuclear NMR
  • X-Ray diffractometer
  • high resolution UPLC ESI-MS system
  • GCMS
  • GC
  • HPLC with diode array detector
  • HPLC with fraction collector
  • in situ FTIR spectroscopy
  • in situ UV-vis
  • polarimetry

Our research also makes use of a wide range of facilities in the School of Chemistry and the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials, as well as the University's general facilities.

Oxford Diffraction “Gemini A Ultra” X-ray diffractometerThe School of Chemistry has recently taken delivery of an Oxford Diffraction 'Gemini A Ultra' X-ray diffractometer, funded by an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant worth nearly £400,000. 

The advantages of the new machine include:

  • fast and sensitive X-ray detector which has only recently been developed
  • excellent easy-to-use software
  • a choice of two different high-intensity X-ray sources
