High Performance Liquid Chromatography- Mass facility (Agilent LCMS SQ_G6125B)
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an analytical technique to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture. It is the single biggest chromatography technique essential to most laboratories worldwide.
NMR
The Bruker 300 MHz Fourier transforms (FT)-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer.
The FT-NMR instrument facility is mainly used for the analysis of organic compounds in the academic institutions, pharmaceutical and chemical industries
Bruker 300 MHz FT-NMR is used to determine the structure of the molecules with hydrogen and carbons.
The multi-nuclear probe used for solution studies is switchable between high frequency range (1 H nucleus) and broadband frequency ( 13 C nucleus).
