OVERVIEW
CPAS operates as a self service core facility and offers its expertise in chromatographic separation and purification (MPLC, HPLC, UHPLC), mass spectrometry detection, identification and quantification (LC-MS SQ, LC-MS QqQ, LC-MS Triple TOF, TDU-GC-MSD, GC-MSD-uECD and GC-MS QTOF [HS-SPME] and MALDI TOF). The services also include Circular Dichroism (CD, VCD), Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD), general spectroscopic characterization (UV, FTIR), lyophilization (benchtop and general purpose freeze-dryer), extraction (microwave reactor), synthesis (microwave reactor, hydrogenation apparatus), ADME screening (Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability [PAMPA - GIT, BBB and skin] and drug solubility evaluation), binding affinity measurement (Microscale Thermophoresis [MST]), and high-throughput screening development capability (liquid handling robot and multimode plate reader). CPAS provides trainings and instruments are available 24/7 in self-service mode and upon reservation for trained users.
