A service engineer from Bruker, which is one of the collaborators in the new Combinatorial Chemistry Facility, demonstrates the $1.2 million system of equipment - the High Through-Put 600 MHZ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer.
Combinatorial chemistry is a technology for preparing compounds en masse simultaneously so that large numbers may be tested rapidly for desirable properties. Scientists hope that, by using the technology, the discovery of new drugs will be accelerated.
The field of combinatorial chemistry has created a bond with the minds of scientists around the world. The technology used is cutting edge - and York is at the forefront of promoting it in Canada through its new state-of-the-art facility.
