Analytical Resources Core (ARC)

Overview of Services

The Analytical Resources CORE (ARC) is an Institutional CORE at Colorado State University administered by the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR). Our mission is to offer instrument capabilities and expertise that exceed the normal resources on individual research programs, and to make those technologies available as a shared resource. We strive to provide an environment that is rich in expertise and educational resources and to foster collaboration across the CSU community and beyond. 

The ARC is organized into 7 laboratories, each offering a complement of sophisticated instruments, services and technical expertise to support faculty/student research, and industrial and educational outreach in the following categories:

  • Materials Analysis (Thermal, Magnetic and Physical Properties)
  • Mass Spectrometry (metabolomics, proteomics, ionomics, macro/small molecule characterization, Biotyper)
  • Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (400-500MHz solution NMR, EPR)
  • Optical Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR, UV-Vis-NIR, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, DLS)
  • X-ray Diffraction and Scattering (single crystal XRD, powder & thin film XRD, XRR, GAXRD, SAXS/WAXS)
  • Electron Microscopy (TEM, SEM, sample prep)
  • Surface Analysis (XPS, contact angle goniometer, profilometer)

The instruments are available for use by researchers at CSU, as well as external customers after appropriate review. Most instruments are available on a self-service basis twenty-four hours per day after appropriate classes or training provided by faculty and staff associated with the ARC. Full service is offered on all instruments.
