The facility houses equipment such as glove box, fume hoods, oxygen-free nanopure water system and ultrasonic processors. Schlenk-type techniques are routinely used for carrying out air & moisture sensitive reactions. It provides opportunities for synthesis of nanoparticles, core-shell nanoparticles, metal-polymer nanocomposites and their characterization. 

     Apart from having well equipped wet chemical laboratory Nano Fabrication Facility utilizes DCM beamline, where X-ray absorption spectroscoy of nanoparticles is carried out. X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure as well X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopic analysis of nanoparticles are routines carried out even for air and moisture sensitive samples. We also have facilities to monitor chemical reactions in situ using XANES analysis.

     The facility also has access to instruments in the clean room . The instrumentation facilities well established by the LSU Macromolecular Studies Group and materials characterization center are also being utilized. These include dynamic light scattering, pattern fluorescence photobleaching recovery, analytical ultracentrifugation, a complete set of thermal analysis, rheology, XPS, XRD and various forms of microscopy such as SEM, TEM. SAXS is under development at CAMD and once ready would play an important role in the development of stable colloidal nanoparticles. SQUID magnetometer at Southern Univeristy and LSU Physics is used for generating magnetic data on magnetic nanoparticles.

    Nano fabrication facility, through its collaboration with Pennington Bio Medical Research Center, has access to cell culture and animal laboratories where in vitro and in vivo assays are carried out. This collaboration is being strengthened to explore bio-medical applications of nanoparticles.
