The Advanced Analysis Centre (AAC) at the University of Guelph is a group of research laboratories housed in the University’s Summerlee Science Complex. The AAC spans an area of over 1000m2 and contains approximately $40 M of research equipment purchased with funds from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Ontario Research Fund and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
The commissioning of the AAC represents a 15 year vision of the University to provide modern, centralized and highly serviced space for large-scale advanced analytical laboratories including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Mass Spectrometry, Electron Microscopy, Advanced Light Microscopy, Genomics and a state-of-the-art plant growth facility. The AAC provides an unequalled range of capabilities for research and advanced education at the interface of the physical and biological sciences.
Mission Statement
