Established since 1998, the Chemical, Molecular and Materials Analysis Centre (CMMAC) is a central instrumentation facility at NUS Chemistry that provides quality professional analysis services to the academia and industry. Our vision is to provide analytical solutions to researchers and enterprises in the areas of (i) Chemical and elemental analysis, (ii) Molecular fingerprinting and mixture analysis, (iii) Materials studies & diffraction analysis, and (iv) Spectroscopic & microscopic studies. When possible, we promote research interactions among scientists and partners, provide hands-on training in analytical instrumentation and conduct user courses or workshops of current interests. We welcome enquiries from institutions and industries.
