Facilities

The new 30,000 square foot laboratory building housing the International Institute of Nano and Molecular Medicine (I²NM²) at the University of Missouri-Columbia has recently been completed. The building houses several large synthetic and analytical chemistry laboratories, which include 24 chemical fume hoods, an isolated high-pressure chemical autoclave reaction laboratory, and a laboratory equipped with explosion proof fixtures. The Institute also houses a new Mass Spectrometry facility for Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory (MSSCL) and a nuclear magnetic resonance laboratory (NMR). Future expansion within the building will provide additional synthetic and biochemical laboratory space.

In addition to institute owned facilities and instrumentation, the center will have access to several university instrumentation core facilities. These include additional NMR instrumentation, including 600 MHz and 800 MHz NMR spectrometers, an x-ray diffraction facility, an electron microscopy facility with SEM, TEM and atomic force microscopy and mass spectroscopy center.

nmr

NMR

The NMR facility at the Institute is currently installing two NMR instruments. Upon completion, the NMR facility will have available Bruker AVANCE 500 and 400 MHz NMR spectrometers.
Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry

The Institute's Mass Spectrometry for Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory (MSSCL) operates several high resolution mass spectrometry instruments utilizing electrospray, MALDI, GCMS (EI & CI), LCMS and MS/MS. The MSSCL mission is to provide rapid, accurate, and precise mass spectrometry services to researchers within I²NM².

xray

X-Ray

The Elmer O. Schlemper X-Ray Diffraction Center is a university core facility that offers equipment for both small molecule and macromolecule X-ray diffraction studies.

mu reactor

Neutron Beam

The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is the most powerful university-based research reactor in the world. The Institute's BNCT program will be conducted with a dedicated neutron source now under construction at MURR.

BIC

Biomolecular Imaging Center

The VA Biomolecular Imaging Center (BIC) located at the Harry S Truman Memorial VA Hospital offers VA, and affiliated MU researchers, state of the art molecular and anatomic in vivo imaging capabilities.
