Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility

The internationally renowned Western Sydney University (WSU), Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Facility (BMRF) specialises in assisting researchers, students, and industry with a variety of magnetic resonance-based experiments.

The BMRF offers fee for service work on the instruments for external users. The cost is dependent on the nature of work (e.g. collaborative or non collaborative; commercial or academic), experiments (e.g. sample preparation requirements, instrument) and analysis required (e.g. diffusion coefficient analysis, images and spectra only results). Results are for research use only.

The BMRF instrumentation is capable of standard contemporary nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments including High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HRMAS).

The major specialties of this facility and its core staff include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), NMR and MRI diffusion and relaxation measurements, and suppression experiments. High resolution MicroCT images can also be obtained at the BMRF.

The BMRF is a node of the National Imaging Facility (NIF) and is located at Western’s Campbelltown Campus in Building 17.
