Instrument Facilities

Louisiana Light Source
LLS is a synchrotron radiation research center at Ä¢¹½tv in Baton Rouge. The mission of CAMD is to provide infrastructure for research and education in synchrotron-based science and technology.

NMR Facility
The NMR Facility houses five high-resolution solution-state spectrometers and one solid-state spectrometer. Spectrometers are networked to facilitate the data transfer to an investigator’s personal computer for off-line data processing.

Mass Spectrometry Facility
The Mass Spectrometry Facility houses five mass spectrometers provides analytical support for the Chemistry Department and other academic departments at Ä¢¹½tv, researchers at other universities, and customers from private industry.

X-ray Crystallography Facility
The X-ray Crystallography Facility has a Bruker Kappa DUO Apex-II diffractometer with Mo and Cu microfocus sources and a Nonius KappaCCD with Mo source. Both are equipped with Oxford Cryostream low-temperature devices.

SLMBR
The Shared Laboratory for Macro and Bio-Macromolecular Research (SLMBR), previously known as the Polymer Analysis Laboratory (PAL), includes several state-of-the-art GPC-MALS systems for the measurement of absolute mass and size distributions of particles and, macro and bio-macromolecules. Other SLMBR instrumentation includes Light Scattering (DLS and SLS), Zeta Potential and Thermal Analysis (TGA, DSC, DMA, and Rheology).

Biotechnology Laboratory
The Ä¢¹½tv AgCenter Biotechnology Laboratory (ABL) is a core facility that provides basic and applied research expertise to support researchers in the Ä¢¹½tv system and those in other academic institutions and industry.
