About Us

The Campus Chemical Instrument Center provides advanced research facilities in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics.

Our History and Mission

Established in 1981, the Campus Chemical Instrument Center (CCIC) provides cutting-edge research facilities to the entire Ohio State University community and beyond. Our mission is to deliver state-of-the-art instrumentation, technical expertise, and collaborative support across three specialized areas:

  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
  • Mass Spectrometry (MS)
  • Proteomics

As central hubs for the Ohio NMR and Ohio MS Consortiums, our facilities are accessible to researchers from all colleges and universities throughout Ohio at uniform user rates. Our operations are supported by Ohio State's Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge (ERIK), with equipment funding provided by the Ohio Board of Regents, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and the Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge.
