CFEA - Core Facility Environmental Analytics
The CFEA brings together the analytical and scientific expertise of environmental research from the fields of forest sciences, geosciences, and hydrosciences. Learn more...
Investigate environmental processes by tracking elemental fluxes through the analysis of stable isotopes of H, C, N, O and S in various phases.
With cutting-edge isotope ratio mass spectrometers and laser-based spectrometers, CFEA delivers precise and reliable results.
CFEA provides access to a state-of-the-art ESEM (FEI Quanta 650 FEG) the perfect tool for visualization of micro- and nanostructures. In contrast to the classical SEM, the ESEM can acquire images of wet or uncoated samples without damaging them.

T-CHE - Technology platform chemical analysis
The technology platform T-CHE (Chemical Analytics) bundles important cross-sectional technologies and research infrastructures of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry. The goals of T-CHE are unbureaucratic access to and efficient use of large-scale research equipment available at the faculty. If interested in the technology platform:
The technology area "Biomolecular Nuclear Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) of liquid samples" is part of the technology platform "Chemical Analysis - T-CHE" of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry of the Technische Universität Dresden. This technology area has NMR spectrometers for one- and multidimensional spectroscopy of samples in solution.
The technology area "Solid State NMR Spectroscopy" is part of the technology platform "Chemical Analytics - T-CHE" of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry of the TU Dresden. This technology area has various NMR spectrometers and exclusively performs solid-state NMR measurements.
The technology area "Mass Spectrometry" is part of the technology platform "Chemical Analytics - T-CHE" of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry of the TU Dresden. This technology area has different mass spectrometers for the measurement of molecular samples in the mass range up to 1500 au.
DCN - Dresden Center for Nanoanalysis
As the technology platform of the cfaed (Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden), the DCN provides the entire user community of the TU Dresden and its partner institutions in the DRESDEN-concept science network with both equipment and know-how for nanoanalytical material characterization.
We focus on electron and X-ray microscopy as well as in-situ characterization. In a sustainable concept, synergies are created and collaboration across scientific borders is promoted through central access to high-end equipment and the provision of a state-of-the-art infrastructure with magnetically shielded, highly specialized and low-noise laboratories.
