Among the classical analytical methods we include elemental analysis and gravimetry, as well as routine spectroscopic measurements from infra red to ultraviolett; nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. However, our modern spectroscopes can also be used for highly complex and specialised measurements beyond any routine. |

Among the imaging methods such methods are listed, which result in direct or indirect images of the (macro)molecule or of the molecular or supramolecular architectures. Depending on the desired resolution there are many light or electron optical methods, but also x-ray structural analysis or atomic force microscopy. |

In the group of micro methods we primarily put together bioanalytical and microanalytical and synthetical procedures. The often required biolabs with S2 safety accredition are located at the new SupraFAB research building. Due to the special safety level, appropriate biosafety training is mandatory to use the state-of-the-art devices their. |
