Equipment.

HPLC-ESI Waters
Waters Premier liquid chromatograph coupled time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HPLC/MS-TOF) with electrospray ionization (ESI), that applies a strong electric field that nebulizes and desolvates the sample, and with high temp. produces gas phase ions. Flow rates of 1 µl to 1ml/min.
In situ FTIR Reaction Analysis (Mettler-Toledo)
A system to "in situ" monitoring chemical reactions by FTIR.
It provides diamond and silicon probes, adaptable to laboratory chemical reactors with volumes ranging from 1 mL to 6 liters.

Varian/Analogix IntelliFlash 310
Flash Chromatography System. It allows purification by separating compounds into fractions using UV detection.
UV detects peaks and collects fractions for eight different wavelengths.
It also comes with column detection, uninterrupted solvent supply, and advanced run software.
Microwave Explorer CEM
A microwave Reactor CEM Explorer equipped with a 24 position autosampler. It has the capacity to work up to 300 ºC, with working volumes from 0.5 to 7 mL in a closed tube, up to a pressure of 21 bar, and from 1 to 100 mL in an open reactor.
MiniMapper, liquid handling and synthesis (Mettler-Toledo)
A computer controlled platform for liquid additions. The equipment is configured to adapt liquid phase and solid phase parallel reaction blocks: 6 x 50 mL, 12 x 25 mL, 24 x 10 mL and 48 x 2 mL (liquid phase) and 12 x 14 mL and 24 x 7 mL (solid phase).
UV-Visible (CARY 200) spectrophotometer
It analyzes compounds in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) regions, looking at electronic transitions. You determine either the concentration of a sample or the molar absorptivity.
 
Polarimeter Jasco P-1020
The Polarimeter enables to measure chiral compounds over a range of concentrations.
HPLC Waters
HPFC Horyzon (Biotage)
HPFC (High Performance Flash Chromatography) system with Horizon Pump, Detector and Collector. simplifies and improves purification in organic syntheses, from miligrams.
Personal evaporator EZ-2 (Genevac)
A parallel centrifugal evaporator designed to evaporate solvents with a boiling point up to 155 ºC. It can used tubes of 17, 24 or 34 mm.
FTIR (Jasco 4200)
Max resolution: 0.5 cm-1; S/N ratio: 30,000:1.
The FT/IR-4200 offers excellent resolution and sensitivity levels for IR demands. It can measure solid and gaseous samples.
An ATR unit (Attenuated Total Reflectance) provides an effective alternative to KBr pellets espectra, for the infrared analysis of powders. The analysis method is non-destructive and can be used with a minimal amount of sample.
Vacuum-Gas Distributor
Easy click and secure junction valve.
NMR 400 MHz (Bruker)
1.- BBI (broadband inverse) 5 mm probe, for observation of nuclei in the interval 1H/31P- 109Ag. Deuterium lock, Z gradients and automatic tuning and matching.
2.- BACS auto sampler for 60 samples.
3.- Gradient system.
Immersion Cooler Haake EK-90 (-100 ºC)
Equipped with an air-cooling circuit, is suitable for individual cooling applications (smaller volumes), removing reaction heat or replacing tap water cooling.
Solvent purification system Pure Solv 400
A solvent is pushed under low nitrogen pressure through two stainless steel columns containing activated alumina and copper, removing traces of water and oxygen, producing dry, deoxygenated solvent. The processed solvent can be dispensed, under nitrogen, using syringes.
PC Cluster
Compact Glove Boxes
Designed specifically for use when weighing hazardous materials that must be contained, glove boxes provide cleanliness, safety, portability, and a draft-free atmosphere.
Microwave Discover SP-D CEM
