Our analytical instrumentation 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 Laboratory
The X-Ray Lab offers small molecule single crystal diffraction, X-ray diffraction for thin film and powder samples, and 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
