Research Research facilities Research in the RSC is supported by excellent infrastructure and facilities, each managed and supported by a dedicated technical staff, and an in-house electrical and mechanical workshop. The school hosts three large-scale, campus wide facilities, providing service support and training to both internal and external users and three embedded facilities built around key strategic strengths of the school. Battery Lab Battery Materials and Energy Storage Laboratory (Battery Lab) Learn more about Battery Lab Biopolymer and Polymer Facility The biopolymer and polymer facility is located in the chemical biology section and is a facility for the production of recombinant proteins and characterization of (bio-) polymers. Learn more about Biopolymer and Polymer Facility Compounds ANU Compounds ANU (CANU) aims to directly link the leading synthetic chemistry capabilities within the RSC to ANU medical and biological research programs primarily conducted within the RSB and JCSMR. Learn more about Compounds ANU Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility The Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility (JMSF) was created in 2016 by RSC and RSB to consolidate and grow mass spectrometry facilities at the ANU. In partnership with CSIRO, the JMSF supports research in the Canberra region and across Australia. Learn more about Joint Mass Spectrometry Facility Laser and Spectrophotometer Facility The laser and Spectrophotometer Facility (LSF) at RSC represents a delocalized multiuser/multiplatform distributed throughout the school. Learn more about Laser and Spectrophotometer Facility Magnetic Resonance Facility Magnetic Resonance techniques have applications in all fields of the experimental sciences. It is the single most powerful method available to chemists for studying the composition, structure and function of molecules. Learn more about Magnetic Resonance Facility RSC Workshop The Workshop facility has been formed to provide high level technical support for research laboratories and projects, instrumentation and general infrastructure within the Research School of Chemistry and the Teaching facilities.
