Dynamic Reaction Monitoring Facility
The Dynamic Reaction Monitoring (DReaM) Facility combines several analytical techniques to monitor liquid-phase chemical reactions in real-time.
Chemical Characterisation Facility
We provide a comprehensive material and chemical characterisation service. We work with the commercial sector and internal and external research institutions.
Dynamic Reaction Monitoring Facility (DReaM)
Discover the equipment housed by the DReaM Facility, some of the research undertaken by our users, and how you can use the DReaM Facility to monitor liquid-phase chemical reactions in real-time.
About the DReaM Facility
The Facility was established in 2016 with an EPSRC strategic equipment grant, to monitor homogeneous chemical reactions in real-time.

Internal users of the DReaM Facility
If you are a University of Bath researcher, read on to learn how to book the DReaM Facility
How to apply to use the DReaM Facility
A call for proposals will be open twice a year for external users to apply for pay-for-use time at the DReaM Facility.
Watching polymer chains grow in real time
Read how MC² supported an international collaboration to monitor polymerisation reactions in real time.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) can be thought of as asking nuclei questions about their local environment and then listening to the response. Find out about the applications of NMR and how you can use our facility.
Use our nuclear magnetic resonance service
Discover the University's nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy equipment and how it can help with your research.
Using proton NMR to improve growth media for trypanosomes
How Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been used to better understand the growth conditions of parasitic organisms.
Using coloured caps for sample tubes on the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance instruments
If you use the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facilities in 1 South, make sure you use the correct cap colour for your research group's samples.
Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry is a sensitive technique used to identify and quantify compounds based on their mass, charge, structure and elemental composition. Find out about using our Mass Spectrometry service.
Use our mass spectroscopy service
Find out about the mass spectrometry service and how it could help your research.
TD-GC-MS for detection of volatile compounds
Find out about the features and applications of the new gas chromatography mass selective detector in MC².
Research facilities notes on amino acids analysis
Learn how to routinely quantitate amino acids, with additional untargeted analysis capabilities, using mass spectrometry.
Chromatography and other techniques
We provide several types of chromatography that separate compounds based on their size, charge and other physiochemical interactions of compounds with mobile phases and stationary phases.
Use our chromatography and related services
Chromatography is a technique used to separate a mixture into its individual compounds based on their physiochemical properties.
About us
The Chemical Characterisation Facility combines cutting-edge analytical equipment with extensive in-house expertise to provide a comprehensive material and chemical characterisation service.
