Analytical services and equipment
Durham University has an extensive range of state-of-the-art analytical equipment and facilities across a range of disciplines including Anthropology, Archaeology, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Engineering, Geography, Health, Physics, Psychology and Medicine. Analytical equipment and facilities are primarily used to support university-based research at both a national and international level.
A new initiative was introduced in 2007, supported by the Regional Development Agency, to increase the accessibility of Durham's equipment, facilities and services to organisations in the private and public sector. Since its introduction, business has been growing rapidly with services being supplied externally to individuals and organisations based in the North East, throughout the UK and overseas. A range of services have been provided including wind tunnel testing, provision and operation of sea-bed instrumentation, precision optics, thermogravimetric analyses, spectrometry (ICP-MS and NMR), DNA sequencing and equipment loans.
