The Instrumentation and Service Center for Molecular Sciences (ISCMS) is a shared-use core facility at Westlake University and has been devoted to developing novel characterization technology to promote the discovery and innovation of applied/basic sciences. With state-of-the-art equipment and developed analytical methodology, ISCMS explores the fundamental principles of chemical changes and energy flow at the atomic and molecular levels, serving forefront research fields of molecular synthesis, green catalysis, energy conversion, environmental science, chemical biology,  biophysics and pharmaceutical science etc.

ISCMS provides 7*24 access and collaborative multidisciplinary research environment for the Westlake research community as well as the larger community of external researchers both from academia and industry through its five main laboratories:

(1) Magnetic Resonance Lab specializes in ultra-high resolution and in-situ analysis of molecular structures, interactions, and dynamics with novel designed and sophisticated NMR/EPR pulse sequences.

(2) Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Lab focuses on the designable high-throughput experimentation of molecular synthesis while imparting expert knowledge in separation sciences to continuously extend the resolution and sensitivity.

(3) Spectroscopy Lab provides regional-controlled sub-micrometer resolution characterization, combined with microscopy and self-developed operando devices, to advance investigations into energy level structure, molecular geometry, chemical bond properties and reaction kinetics down to femtoseconds.

(4) Microstructure and Morphology Characterization Lab is dedicated to the development of high-resolution, in-situ, and micro-area XRD techniques, along with the construction of multi-physics coupled in-situ testing platforms (integrating light, electricity, force, heat, magnetism, etc).

(5) High-Throughput Precision Chemistry Lab integrates HTE and HTS system to enable automated molecular synthesis and functional screening, accelerating breakthroughs in catalysis,  chemical biology, materials science, and drug development across scales from nanoliter operations to organoid-level analysis.

Advance techniques that address problems emerging from dynamic, cutting-edge researches include (I) high-field in situ liquid nuclear magnetic resonance, ultra-high resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and liquid helium cryogenic pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance; (II) high-resolution and high-sensitivity liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, full-element precise quantification, and combined optical spectroscopy and mass spectrometry; (III) femtosecond-to-second multi-time-scale time-resolved spectroscopy, super-resolution fluorescence/Raman/UV/IR spectroscopic imaging, operando X-ray absorption/emission spectroscopy, near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and liquid metal target X-ray single-crystal diffractometer and small-angle scattering; (IV) high-throughput chemical reaction screening/optimization system for catalytic chemistry and chemical biology.

The focus of staff scientists at ISCMS has been not only to serve a broad, diverse, international set of researchers, but also to develop specialized methodologies, protocols, instrumentation, and expertise to help simulate, characterize, and analyze novel molecules, materials, and systems going beyond conventional approaches.
