The Thermo Scientific LTQ XL™ Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer provides accurate mass measurements (m/z 50-4000) with resolution of 600,000 and high sensitivity (low fetomole to high attomole level). 

The Thermo Scientific Orbitrap LTQ XL mass spectrometer provides accurate mass measurement (<10 ppm) with high resolution (600,000) and sensitivity (low fetomole to high attomole level).

The Thermo Scientific LTQ Obitrap Velos provides exact mass measurements (m/z 50-4000) with resolution of >60,000 and mass accuracy of <3 ppm, or 1 ppm with the use of lockmass. 

The multiple fragmentation techniques, high collision dissociation(HCD) and collision induced dissociation (CID), enable complete structural information to be obtained through MS and MSn analysis.

The Quantachrome NOVA 2200E BET Surface Area Analyzer is used to measure surface areas, pore volume and pore size distribution in materials.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FT-IR) is used to obtain an absorption or transmission spectrum of a solid or liquid. An FT-IR spectrometer simultaneously collects data over a wide spectral range. Multiple scans are run for increased signal to noise when sample limited.

The Bruker 700 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer is a state of the art instrument which also includes vast capabilities including a Cyroprobe. This system is designed to support the high demands of biochemistry applications as well as high resolution chemistry applications.

The recently updated Bruker/Varian liquid state 500 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer provides a higher resolution capability than the 400 NMR and also includes an automatic sample tube changer for higher throughput. The auto sampler and recent console upgrade provide efficient and excellent results.

This NMR is used by researchers in chemistry, chemical engineering, and other disciplines also for chemical structure analysis.
