Analytical Instrumentation Lab

This specialist analytical laboratory provides students with access to advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic instrumentation. It supports both teaching and research across Chemistry and Forensic Science, enabling hands-on experience with industry-standard analytical techniques.

About the facility

The lab is equipped with a variety of chromatographic and spectroscopic equipment, including gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), inductively coupled plasma with mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) among others. Students have the opportunity to gain practical experience in using these analytical techniques throughout their studies, which can be further enhanced through their research projects. The lab supports teaching in Chemistry and Forensic Science, covering modules such as Drugs of Abuse, Advanced Chemical Analysis, and Analytical Toxicology. It also serves as a hub for research and commercial projects, involving the analysis of diverse sample types like food and drink, cosmetics, e-cigarette liquids, legal highs, and river water.
