Pharmaceutical Sciences Instrumentation Center

Overview of Services

The Pharmaceutical Sciences Instrumentation Center serves a variety of research projects. An expansive dynamic of instrumentation ranging from thermal and spectroscopic characterization, to our top of the line highly sensitive LCMS instruments, allows users to explore quantitative and qualitative analyses.  One focus and area of local expertise is the analysis of biological and artificial lipid bilayer membranes (liposomes). DSC is particularly useful in the investigation of small-molecule/membrane interactions. Through circular dichroism spectroscopy and spectrofluorometry, projects involving protein structure, drug-protein interactions, biological membrane structure and function, and pharmaceutical formulation have been enabled. Our top of the line LCMS triple quadrupole mass spectrometers and time of flight mass spectrometer are ideal for highly sensitive quantitative and qualitative small molecule and peptide pharmaceutical analyses.
