The Chemistry Department NMR core facility is operated by Dr. Edwin Rivera, which has a Bruker DRX 250-MHz spectrometer, located on the second floor of NES; Varian VXR 300 MHz and Varian Inova 400 and 500 MHz NMR spectrometers are located in the Life Sciences Annex (LSA).
The Chemistry Department mass spectrometry/protein synthesis core facility is located on the fourth floor of NES and is operated by Dr. Ted Gauthier. Equipment in this facility includes an Applied Biosystems 433A peptide synthesizer Shimadzu GC17A/QP5000 GC/MS, Bruker Autoflex MALDI-TOF MS Agilent Technologies LC/MSD VL (with electrospray ionization) - single quadrupole mass analyzer used for nominal mass accuracy Agilent Technologies LC/MSD TOF (with electrospray ionization) - time of flight mass analyzer used for high mass accuracy Aviv Model 215 Circular Dichroism Spectrometer Dionex analytical and prep HPLCs. Both LC systems on the Agilent MS instruments are the Agilent 1100 series LC systems.
Additional facilities available for CMD5 researchers include a solids characterization facility (which includes a Bruker APEX single crystal x-ray diffractometer with 4K CCD detector and Oxford Cryostream low temperature accessory and a Bruker D-8 Advance powder x-ray diffractometer) and more routine instruments such as FT-IR, UV-vis, LC, GC, GM/MS.
