NMR
300 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy provides a fingerprint of a substance based on the behavior of a specific nuclei in the presence of a magnetic field. Common nuclei include 1H and 13C.
FTIR
Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy provides an absorption spectrum of a substance in the infrared range.
GC-MS
Gas chromatography separates volatile substances on the basis of boiling point, and can be paired with mass spectrometry which identifies substances based on the mass of molecules or fragments.
LC-MS
Liquid Chromatography is able to separate components based on size and polarity alongside MS. Mass spectrometry can identify unknown substances based on mass fragmentation patterns. Includes ESI (electrospray ionization) and APCI (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) sources.
Fluorimeter
Fluorescence spectroscopy measures fluorescence; a phenomenon in which a substance absorbs at a particular wavelength and then emits at a higher wavelength (lower energy). Includes temp control.
UV-Vis
A UV-visible spectrophotometer analyzes the amount of light a solution absorbs in the ultraviolet to visible wavelength range. We have several, including one with temperature control.
DSC
Differential Scanning Calorimetry can be used to detect phase transitions and enthalpy changes over a temperature range from -80°C to 500°C.
HPLC
Liquid chromatography is used to separate substances on the basis of properties including polarity. Diode array detector allows monitoring of several UV-Vis absorbances simultaneously.
Purification System
Column chromatography is commonly used to purify substances in synthesis. This tool allows for that process to occur more efficiently and effectively.
AA
Atomic absorption spectroscopy can be used to identify and quantitate elements in a sample by exciting electrons in a flame and measuring absorptions.
