Materials and Molecular Analysis (MMA)
Formerly known as the Central Instrument Facility (CIF)
The MMA creates a stimulating and collaborative environment so that students can learn and drive new research discoveries.
Materials Analysis
Provides expertise and instrumentation for the measurement of material properties like thermal stability and transitions, specific heat, magnetic AC and DC susceptibility, electrical and thermal transport properties, and paramagnetic properties.

Mass Spectrometry
Provides expertise and instrumentation for molecular mass measurements and structural elucidation of small molecules, biomolecules and nanomaterials, as well as workflows and data analysis strategies for targeted and untargeted LC-MS and GC-MS metabolomics studies.
