Sydney Analytical

Enabling research excellence

Sydney Analytical, one of the University of Sydney’s core research facilities, provides state-of-the-art instruments and technical expertise for sample characterisation.

About us

Sydney Analytical is the University’s core research facility dedicated to material, chemical and biological analysis. We offer access to the University’s flagship capabilities for vibrational and X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray and light scattering, drug discovery and magnetic resonance, as well as expert technical guidance, to support researchers as they address their most challenging research priorities.

Sydney Analytical fully complements the important work being undertaken at local and international centres for collaborative research, and our network of partnerships which includes members such as Sydney Nano, the Brain and Mind Centre and Charles Perkins Centre, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, as well as extensive industry collaborators, represents a significant knowledge base through which to drive academic excellence and high-impact research outcomes.

Vibrational and X-ray spectroscopy

A wide range of specialised instruments and sampling accessories for use in simple point spectroscopy or sophisticated chemical/biological mappping and imaging.

Scattering and diffraction

Sydney Analytical provides specialist capabilities for sample analysis through X-ray and light scattering, and X-ray diffraction crystallography.

Drug discovery

Providing specialist support for early-stage drug discovery, including protein production and characterisation, protein X-ray crystallography, and fragment-based drug discovery.

Although three Egyptian mummies have been part of the Nicholson Museum’s collection since 1860, modern scientific techniques enable us to examine these ancient individuals with new eyes. In this presentation six experts overview different aspects of the project: - Dr Jamie Fraser (Nicholson Museum): Nicholson and the mummies - Prof John Magnussen (Macquarie Medical Imaging): CT scanning the mummies - Dr Conni Lord (Nicholson Museum): Excavating the Mer-Neith-it-es coffin - Dr Therese Harrison (Sydney Analytical, University of Sydney): Analysing the remains - Dr Andrew Howells & Dr Bernadette Drabsch (University of Newcastle): Re-colouring the coffin.
