Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy -FTIR - to measure MID infrared spectrum by trasmission and reflection (iTR, grazing angle and ATR).
Sample - powders, solids, thin films, gas, liquids. Quantity to be discussed with lab scientist.

Ultra Performance LC (UPLC) separation of compounds utilizing photodiode array detection and single quadropole mass spectrometry (UPLC/PDA/MS) detection. Its analytical performance supports routine compound identification in complex mixtures.

Evaporation of organic extracts to evaporate or concentrate the samples.
Sample - liquids with a maximum quantity of 300 mL.

The micro Time-of-Flight (TOF)-MS instrument is a high resolution (10,000) Mass spectrometer. It is capable of measuring accurate masses of a variety of compounds from small (standard mass range: 50-3000 amu) to large molecules (extended mass range: 3000-20000 amu). The micrOTOF is the perfect choice for straight-forward formula determination of unknown compounds. This MicroToF is equipped with an ESI source. This instrument is primarily used to obtain molecular weight information on synthetic products.

Micromeritics AutoChem 2950 HP Chemisorption Analyzer is an automated high-pressure catalyst characterization system that is capable of preparing and analyzing samples at elevated pressures up to 1000 psi and at temperatures from -100 to 1100 degC. The instrument can perform a variety of experiments including pulse chemisorption, BET surface area, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), desorption (TPD), oxidation (TPO), and reaction analyses. This microreactor, combined with a mass spectrometer, can also be used to determine product yields and catalytic activity under commercially viable conditions.
Sample - solids, powders or polymers. Quantity to be discussed with lab scientists.

Concentrate sample solutions - solvent evaporation from extracts - through the appllication of nitrogen gas stream and gentle heating.
Sample - liquids with a maximum quantity of 15 mL.

Measurement of particle and molecule size, translational diffusion, electrophoretic mobility, zeta potential of particles at high and low concentrations, viscosity and viscoelasticity of protein and polymer solutions, concentration, MW, A2 and kD.
Sample - solids, polymers or biomolecules. Quantity to be discussed with lab scientist.

Determination of specific surface area, pore volume and pore size distribution using liquid nitrogen or argon (and temperature controller from -30 to 150 degC) for mesopore samples with pore size from 2nm to 50nm. The relative pressure data start in the range of 10^-04 p/p0.
This instrument can also perform high pressure adsorption (up to 10 bar) using CO2, H2, CH4, etc.
Sample - solids, powders or polymers. Quantity to be discussed with lab scientists.
