MOLECULAR ANALYSIS AND DYNAMICS


VICS Molecular Analysis and Dynamics aims to provide Victoria with a research and development analytical chemistry facility of international standard.

Why is instrumental analysis so important?


Modern scientific research is increasingly dependent on sophisticated instruments for measurement of physical and chemical properties. In the world of business, the development of products such as pharmaceuticals, foods, speciality chemicals and new materials requires high throughput instrumental analysis systems, data processing and interpretation capabilities .

Expertise and Instrumentation


VICS Molecular Analysis and Dynamics draws together the staff expertise in instrumental analysis and the extensive array of “state of the art” instruments located in the Member Universities to provide a unique service to Victorian industry, research institutions, government agencies and other users.


These include three 500 MHz Unity Inova NMRs with LC NMR, autosampling and variable temperature attachments, Finnigan LTQ FT combining ion trap and FTICR technologies to achieve high resolution, accurate mass determinations and MSn for routine high throughput analysis, Bruker HR120 FTIR and Raman systems, single crystal and powder X-Ray diffractometers, X-Ray fluorescence, AFM, SEM and TEM microscopies and a range of microspectroscopies. VICS also has access to the Agilent Technologies Chromatography facility at RMIT.

VICS Chemical Extractions Facility


This facility allows high throughput multiple sample extraction, utilising accelerated solvent (ASE) and microwave (ME) extractions of organic and inorganic samples in preparation for instrumental analysis.

VICS Centre for Scientific Instrumentation


The VICS-CSI is designing, prototyping and testing low cost analytical instruments for applications in teaching, research and industry. It will runs training courses and workshops on instrumentation and electronics in chemistry.
