Related Applications
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
NMR spectroscopy is an analytic technique to determine molecular structure, chemical composition and purity. NMR detects the energy absorbed due to nuclear spin states in the presence of a strong magnetic field.
Thin Layer Chromatography
Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a separation technique based on differential partitioning of compounds between a solid surface, coated with a thin layer of adsorbent, and a liquid solvent that moves over the solid surface by capillary action.
Liquid Chromatography
Protocols and technical articles relating to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for large molecules and small molecules, and to low-pressure liquid chromatography (LPLC)
Gas Chromatography (GC)
Gas chromatography is a common analytic technique used to separate and analyze volatile compounds in the gas phase. GC is applied in many industries for quality control, and to identify and/or quantify compounds in a mixture.
Photometry & Reflectometry
Photometry measures the amount of an analyte in a sample solution based on the light absorbed. Reflectometry measures reflected light of a surface determining characteristics such as color to draw conclusions on e.g. analyte concentrations.
Synthetic Methods
Explore our building blocks for cross-coupling, fluorination, metathesis, C-H functionalization, and photocatalysis for a complete organic reaction toolbox for small molecule synthesis methods.
Photocatalysis
Photoredox catalysis utilizes photocatalysts in the presence of visible light to form an array of synthetic transformations including, but not limited to, cross-coupling, C-H functionalization, alkene and arene functionalization, and trifluoromethylation.
Organic Reaction Toolbox
An organic reaction toolbox provides structure-activity relationships for unique chemical reactions to optimally design and control small molecule synthesis.
