	SwRI chemists determine the molecular structure of synthetic intermediates, using a Varian Unity/Inova 400 with a liquids probe (ATB), a nanoprobe (inverse ¹H, ¹³C), and a solids probe (CP/MAS).

Extensive analytical capabilities and expertise are used by the Synthesis and Process Chemistry staff for the characterization of materials, development of analytical methods, and methods validation.

The equipment listed below facilitates the rapid generation and evaluation of data for materials characterization, and for exerting control over chemical processes.

• Walk-up access 400-MHz Varian nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer

• Walk-up access LC/MS and GC/MS

• HPLC/DAD

• Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA)

• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

• Optical microscopy

• SEM/EDX (scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy)

• Malvern particle size analyzer

• Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and UV/Vis spectrometers
