The department has first-class infrastructure with respect to instrumentation, premises for research, education and different types of support functions. A substantial part of the instruments are listed in the searchable database InstrumentKeeper. It has information on the instruments, their application and people to contact.
Many of the instruments sort under specific platforms and core facilities. In some cases, these are nodes for national and international infrastructures. They offer access to instruments, service and education to varying degrees.
Computational Analytics Support Platform(CASP)
We support life science researchers at Umeå University to analyse their experimental data using advanced data-driven tools and strategies.

NMR
This infrastructure is based on a number of spectrometers (360-850 MHz) and provides support for NMR analysis of a wide variety of samples, everything from small organic molecules to proteins and new materials for materials science . The infrastructure is a node in the national networks SciLife Lab, SwedNMR and the Swedish NMR Centre.
