Chemical quantitation and identification
The BMRC has extensive equipment and expertise that are frequently accessed by research, public sector and commercial clients. The centre has capabilities to offer a range of non-coupled and MS coupled techniques including
- GC/GC-MS
- LC/LC-MS
- LC-MS-MS
Ion analysis
We also offer an ICP service for the detection and quantitation of ions. We can analyse solutions directly, or can carry out microwave acid digestion on suitable solid or semi-solid samples. Analysis can be carried out by either
- ICP-MS
or - ICP-OES
Structural analysis
Using our recently acquired NMR system we can also provide structural analysis of molecules. This can be carried out by proton-NMR, Carbon-13 NMR or phosphorus-31 NMR spectroscopy.
We also offer an ion chromatography service.
All analyses can be charged on a per sample, or per hour of instrument time basis. For further information regarding our services or to discuss the prices involved, please don't hesitate to contact us.
