Our analytical instrumentation core facilities support scientific researchers both within Harvard and across the Boston area. These facilities provide scientists with access to highly specialized services, equipment, and expertise that cannot be supplied by an individual laboratory.
CCB Core Facilities
Magnetic Resonance Lab
The Laukien-Purcell Instrumentation Center contains 11 spectrometers, including seven NMR, one each of t he following: EPR, MS, IR, and MPMS.
X-ray Core
The Center for Crystallographic Studies provides expertise in small-molecule single-crystal diffraction, X-ray diffraction services for thin film and powder samples, and comprehensive crystallography education.
Other Core Facilities
Center for Nanoscale Systems: nanofabrication, materials synthesis, imaging, and computer analysis of design of nanoscale systems
Small Molecule Mass Spectrometry: mass spectrometry-based techniques to investigate a wide variety of analytes
Center for Brain Science: neuroimaging, light microscopy, and more
