In the research group MCBIM it is possible to analyze your research compounds with:

• elemental analysis (C, H, N, S)
• ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) for many elements
• chloride anions (aqueous solutions)

Leiden University chemist Sylvestre Bonnet is working on a method to fight cancer by combining new anticancer molecules and light irradiation of tumour cells.

Chemists often need dry organic solvents to perform top chemistry research. However, extensive drying of solvent is difficult. It is traditionally performed via continuous distillation of the solvents in presence of drying chemicals such as sodium metal or calcium hydride.
