CCiTUB nodes
CCiTUB manages two scientific infrastructures included in the Map of Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructures (ICTS) updated every 4 years and approved by the Scientific, Technological and Innovation Policy Council (CPTI) of the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación with Govern and Autonomous Communities representatives.
The ICTS are installations, resources, equipment and public titularity services for the development of top-quality cutting-edge research and the maximum quality technological avant-garde development. They are open to competitive access for all the scientific, technological and industrial community.
Integrated Infrastructure for Electron Microscopy of Materials
The Electron Microscopy applied to Materials Unit (UMEAP) of the CCiTUB is one of the 4 nodes of the ELECMI ICTS along with CNME (National Center of Electron Microscopy) of the Complutense University of Madrid; the LMA (Laboratory of Advanced Microscopy) of the University of Zaragoza and the DME (Division of Electron Microscopy) of the University of Cádiz.
It has highly skilled personal in characterization techniques by transmission electron microscopy and related analytical techniques (EELS and EDXS Spectroscopy), as well as in advanced data treatment and simulation. It also has beam precession systems (for 3D electron diffraction, electron crystallography, crystal phase recognition and orientation and tension maps) and specific sample holders for in situ microscopy and electron tomography.
Bio-molecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory (R-LRB)
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (RMN) Unit of the CCiTUB was recognized as ICTS in 2002. In 2018 was joined by two new nodes (Manuel Rico NMR Laboratory of the IQFR-CSIC in Madrid and Euskadi NMR Laboratory of the CIC-bioGUNE) creating the Bio-molecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory (R-LRB).
The Unit has nine RMN instruments distributed among three laboratories, located in the Chemistry Faculty, Pharmacy Faculty and the Cluster building of the Barcelona Science Park (PCB). The laboratory is available for researchers and companies that need to use its installations, or advice in areas such as structure and dynamics of biomolecules, functional biology, identification and optimization of drugs for research purposes.
