Research Group
Characterisation and Analytics
The Characterisation and Analytics research group specialises in research-led analytical problem-solving by using the latest instruments to examine and analyse chemical data.
About
The Characterisation and Analytics group has now been replaced by the Spectroscopy, Spectrometry, and Structure group.
Spectroscopy, Spectrometry, and Structure group page
The Characterisation and Analytics group's research focuses on using methods to identify, isolate or quantify chemicals and materials. We also investigate what characterises their physical properties.
Using the latest instruments and facilities, which are available to researchers across the University, we examine both organic and inorganic chemicals.
Our techniques include:
- powder and materials X-ray diffraction
- nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
- mass spectrometry and chromatography-mass spectrometry
