School of Chemistry Analytical Facility
We provide academic and industry researchers with access to world class physical, biological and chemical characterisation techniques and technologies. We provide two modes of access, contracted fee for service or direct user access following personalised training. Our services are available not only to researchers allied to Monash University but also to other institutions as well as industry.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
NMR spectroscopy determines the structures of molecules ranging from small chemicals to macromolecular proteins and polymers. The facility contains four instruments capable of measuring solutions and one capable of measuring solid samples.
Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry
Our Mass Spectrometry facility offers eight mass spectrometers. The facility also provides a wide variety of chromatography services.
Infrared, UV and Raman Spectroscopy
Conventional, imagining and micro-spectroscopic facilities to examine the chemical molecular structure of samples.
Atomic Spectroscopy
Atomic spectroscopy is the technique for determining the elemental composition of an analyte by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. Several analytical techniques are available, and selecting the most appropriate one is the key to achieving accurate, reliable, real-world results.
Thermal Analysis and Microanalysis
Elemental combustion instrument for elemental analysis (C, H, N) of a variety of solid samples. Thermal Analysis is the study of a sample property and its temperature as the sample is heated or cooled in a controlled manner. Sample mass change and the energy absorbed/released provide physical and chemical properties.
X-ray
Single crystal X-ray diffraction with a state of the art, Rigaku Synergy S system comprising a direct photon counting detector and dual wavelength capability enables very fast data collection and determination of a wide variety of small molecule crystal structures.
