  Campus Chemcial Instrument Center

 

The Campus Chemical Instrument Center (CCIC) was founded in 1981 as a unit of the Office of Research. The mission of the CCIC is to provide state-of-the-art research facilities for the entire campus in three areas: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics. Since the NMR, MS and Proteomics Facilities are central hubs for the Ohio NMR and Ohio MS Consortiums, respectively, all researchers in the colleges and universities of the State of Ohio have access to all facilities of the CCIC with the same user fees.

Associate Director for NMR, Dr. Charles Cottrell, is in charge of the daily operation of the NMR Facility, and Associate Director for MS, Dr. Kari Green-Church, is in charge of the daily operation of the MS&P Facility. Ruth Luketic runs the business aspect the CCIC, while Robin Gates handles our Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility.

Over the years the CCIC has expanded not only instrumentation and staff, but also the data collection and data processing capabilities. Computer support now known as the Network Operations Center oversees day-to-day tasks on IBM Blade Center™ equipment making the CCIC one of the most advanced computer operations centers in the state. The NOC also collaborates with the Ohio Supercomputer Center to utilize 3rd Frontier Network technologies as well as support statewide users with otherwise unattainable hardware and software.

The OSU Office of Research provides personnel support of the CCIC. Equipment funding has been provided by Ohio Board of Regents, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Office of Research.
