Mass spectrometer platform for inorganic and organic liquid analysis. KU Leuven

Koen Binnemans
Molecular Design and Synthesis

This project secures funding for renewal of the mass spectrometer infrastructure of the Leuven Chem&Tech core facility. The mass spectrometer platform will consist of three mass spectrometers for the analysis of metals and small organic molecules in solution: (1) Inductive Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), (2) Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS), (3) Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). Mass ...

400 MHz liqiuid-state NMR Spectrometer KU Leuven

Koen Binnemans
Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, Molecular Design and Synthesis

The user-friendly 400 MHz NMR spectrometer is a very important tool for the research groups that are active in the field of organic and inorganic synthesis in the new Corelab research facilities at the Arenberg III Campus of KU Leuven. More than 100 researchers will be active users of this apparatus. The NMR spectrometer has a high throughput of samples thank to a full automation and sensitive electronics for data collection. NMR spectroscopy ...

Phar-NMR: Superconducting Fourier 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer as Indispensable Tool in Pharmaceutical Research Ghent University

Serge Van Calenbergh
Department of Pharmaceutics

A user-friendly, multifunctional NMR spectrometer is an indispensable tool for several research groups of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Ghent University operating in the field of synthesis and analysis of new molecules with therapeutic and diagnostic potential. Replacement of the existing outdated NMR apparatus with a state-of-the-art 400 MHz device is required to support ongoing projects and to accommodate the increasing number ...

High resolution tandem mass spectrometer for advanced proteomics KU Leuven

Anastassios Economou
Laboratory of Molecular Bacteriology (Rega Institute), Animal Physiology and Neurobiology, Laboratory for Molecular Neurobiomarker Research, Division of Crop Biotechnics, Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research), Switch Laboratory (VIB-KU Leuven)

The instrument we wish to purchase is a "mass spectrometer", in essence a supersensitive balance to measure the mass for very tiny entities, in this case biological materials. Such instruments have revolutionized biological research. By using them we can identify many of the thousands of proteins in cells and dissect their elaborate properties. The instrument identifies either the presence of whole proteins or fragmented proteins. Correct ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer Hasselt University

Dirk VANDERZANDE
Materials Chemistry, Applied and Analytical Chemistry, Organic and Bio-polymer Chemistry
NMR (Nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy is an indispensable tool for chemists to unravel the structure and purity of newly developed innovative materials. Since structure determination is crucial in all steps of a material development chain, flexible acces to such equipment is an absolute must. In addition, NMR spectroscopy allows to quantitatively describe the miscibility and chain dynamics of materials on the nanometer level via ...

Wide-range multi-purpose Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrometer for Materials, Archaeological and Geological Research (FT-IMAGER) Ghent University

Henk Vrielinck
Department of Solid State Sciences

Hercules 1 - Vrielinck Wide-range multi-purpose Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrometer for Materials, Archaeological and Geological Research (FT-IMAGER) Herculesstichting AUGE/13/16

A broad research program is set up around a multifunctional facility for Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and micro-spectrometry.

Mass spectrometer for on-line LC-MS measurements. KU Leuven

Paul Proost
Laboratory of Molecular Immunology (Rega Institute), Laboratory of Immunobiology (Rega Institute)
A mass spectrometer allows to determine the molecular mass of natural, synthetic or recombinant proteins with high accuracy. In addition, these instruments allow to fragment proteins in order to obtain structural information on protein modifications. These modifications may affect the biological activity of cytokines, chemokines and proteases and influence their interactions in inflammatory reactions and cancer.

MALDI-ToF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization - Time of Flight) Mass Spectrometer for Advanced Polymer Analysis Hasselt University

Wouter MAES
Materials Chemistry
The activities of the Institute for Materials Research of Hasselt University critically depend on the presence of state-of-the-art infrastructure, which is used for fundamental as well as more applied materials-oriented research in the fields of energy (generation/storage), sustainability and healthcare. Detailed material characterization is a crucial step to bridge the material synthesis and product development platforms. Within the institute, ...

Development of a laboratory based quick X-ray absorption and emission spectrometer in a Von Hamos geometry. Ghent University

Laszlo Vincze
Department of Chemistry

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a widely applied analytical technique that allows the
investigation of an elementU+2019s oxidation state and local chemical structure in a surrounding sample
matrix. X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), on the other hand, provides information on the
electronic structure and the nature of bound ligands, very complementary to XAS.
Due to the need for a means to select a narrow energy ...
