The variable temperature (VT) unit on our machine uses a thermocouple wire to measure the temperature of “the sample.” However, because the thermocouple wire does not physically touch the sample…

NMR capabilities extend well beyond the 1-dimensional 1H NMR spectra that organic chemists typically acquire. We strive to educate organic chemists on the techniques that can help them obtain the…

Chronic non-healing wounds, such as venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and pressure ulcers cause tremendous patient suffering. Treatment of such wounds presents a serious unmet medical need. Strategies that optimize the…

Microbial resistance to drug therapy is an area of increasing concern (https://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/). The emergence of drug resistance in microorganisms can occur by several different mechanisms (Debabov, 2013), one particular mechanism…

Contact the Author Polysorbate 80 is a surfactant and emulsifier frequently found in foods, drug products, as well as in biochemical solutions and preparations.  Although its presence in foods is…

Microbiology Services – Quantitative Biofilm Service Assay Microbial biofilms are everywhere. Biofilm formation occurs when planktonic cells (bacteria, yeast, fungi, etc) attach and colonize living or non-living surfaces.  Plaque on…

Contact the Author Diffusion-Ordered SpectroscopY (DOSY) is a technique in which a mixture of signals from a mixture of compounds can be separated on the basis of their diffusion coefficients. …

Do you have a need for NMR services beyond basic 1-D proton spectra? Do you need expertise in analyzing and interpreting NMR data for discussions or presentations or publications?  We can help by…

Antibiotic resistance is a growing worldwide public health crisis.  Resistance is emerging faster than modern science is able to replace the armamentarium of effective antimicrobial agents.  Currently, over half of Staphylococcus aureus…
