  • F2500 Fluorescence Spectrometer (Hitachi)
  • Vector 22 FT-IR Spectrometer (Bruker)
  • ATI Genesis FT-IR Spectrometer (Mattson)
  • LCQ Advantage LC-MS (Thermo)
  • OmniFLEX MALDI-TOFMS (Bruker)
  • 200 MHz Avance DPX NMR Spectrometer (Bruker)
  • 500 MHz Avance DRX NMR Spectrometer (Bruker)
  • System 2000 Microfocus Raman Spectrometer (Renishaw)
  • Lambda 19DM UV-Vis Spectrometer  (Perkin-Elmer)
  • Miniflex Powder X-ray Diffractometer (Rigaku)
  • CCD X-Ray Diffractometer (Bruker)
