Research Facilities
NMR Spectroscopy Lab
The Department of Chemistry completed houses a million dollar NMR spectroscopy laboratory that includes three high field instruments.
500 MHz Varian Inova with triple axis gradients400 MHz Bruker Avance III HD
All instruments have variable temperature capabilities and employ the latest processing software.
The NMR Spectroscopy Lab is the central component of the Organic Spectroscopy Laboratory (OSL), which also includes a Bruker LC-MS and FT-IR instruments.

Core Biology Facility
The Center for Protease Research Core Biology Facility (CBF) was created in 2003 to aid in the in vitro testing of inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases and histone deacetylases. Since its inception, CBF has served as a biomedical research center for a wide variety of research projects on NDSU campus and throughout the region, and become a hub for connecting scientists for collaboration.
Core Mass Spectrometry Facility
The Core Mass Spectrometry Facility is equipped with a GC-Mass Spectrometer and a Waters Synapt G2-Si high resolution Mass Spectrometer.

Core Synthesis Facility
The Core Synthesis & Analytical Services Facility (CSASF) was established in April 2008 to assist with principal investigators’ research by providing synthetic and analytical services. We are equipped with state-of-art instrumentation and can carry out all modern synthetic techniques. We specialize in the synthesis of small molecules for biological applications. We also offer quantitative and qualitative analyses of substrates using HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS.
Research Centers
Several research centers associated within the department and the university provide additional services and research capabilities.
