Infrastructure and equipment
GlycoChemistry Laboratory – Lennard-Jones Building LJ1.60
Here we undertake synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and chemical biology. The laboratory is well equipped for this, housing the below equipment:
- 20 fume hood laboratory
- 10+ Schenck lines for inert atmosphere work
- 9 Rotary evaporators with recirculating chillers
- BioRad LP Purification system (for SAX, desalting)
- Agilent 1260 Infinity II Preparative LC System
- Inline MS
- ELSD + UV detectors
- 10-100 mg scale preparations and separations
- Tecan Infinite Mnano Plate reader
- Freeze drier – 20L
- Buchi C815 and Reveleris X2 Automated Flash Chromatography purification systems (50 mg-300g)
In addition to this the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, where the GlycoChemistry laboratory houses a suite of analytical capabilities to support carbohydrate synthesis, including NMR capability (2 x 400 MHz Multi-probe NMR spectrometers), low and high-resolution mass spectrometry capability, X-Ray Crystallography (Bruker D8 Quest Eco single crystal diffractometer) and analytical HPLC and microanalysis laboratories.
