URI Core Facility Equipment – Engineering Analytical Core

The Engineering Analytical Core  https://web.uri.edu/nano/analytical-core/  is located in the Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering and is managed by Dr. Vinka Craver, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (craver@uri.edu). The equipment contained in this core includes:

  • Shimadzu LCMS-8060 . Ultra High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) Triple Quadrupole UPLC/MS/MS system for ultra-trace analysis with high-sensitive Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) component analysis.
  • Shimadzu Nexera-XR ultra. Fully-integrated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system with three detectors: the SPD-M20A, RF 20A and Sedex 90 ELSD detector.
  • Shimadzu ICPMS-2030. Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer with autosampler and collision cell.
  • Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8050 NX. Triple Quadrupole GC/MS/MS for ultra-trace analysis. Includes Purge & Trap autosampler. AOC-6000 autosampler. With three injection tools: liquid, headspace, and solid phase microextraction (SPME)
  • Shimadzu RF-6000 Spectrofluorometer. Xenon lamp with high-speed scanning of 60,000 nm/min. Extended range scan wavelength up to 900 nm.
  • Shimadzu DSC-60A Plus. This device can measure phase changes starting at -140⁰C. This model also comes with a 24 pan autosampler.
