Facilities
Macquarie University Advanced Spectroscopy Centre (MUASC)
Macquarie University Advanced Spectroscopy Centre (MUASC) is a service and research facility which provides state-of-the-art spectroscopic tools and expertise for molecular characterization, protein chemistry, biophysics and material sciences.
The facility centre comprises a series of vibrational spectroscopy techniques such as:
- FT-IR, Raman
- Raman optical activity
- vibrational circular dichroism
- electronic spectroscopy (UV-Visible, NIR and fluorescence, circular dichroism) and linear spectroscopy (linear dichroism)
- light scattering (dynamic light scattering, nanoparticle tracking analysis)
- nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (600 MHz, 500 MHz and 400 MHz)

Our services
Our services are used in wide range of applications from characterising paint chips to measuring trace metals in water to identifying protein structure. It also facilitates collaborations across internal and external research groups, and bridges the knowledge gap between academia and industry needs, enabling commercial translation of basic research into industry.
We have strong connections with ARC CNBP, ARC ITTC-FAAB, MQ Photonics Research centre and MQ Biomolecular Discovery Research Centre.
