inVia Raman microscope

The inVia Raman microscope supports a wide range of environmental and sampling accessories.
This Raman spectrometer is equipped with three different laser wavelengths (532, 633, 785 nm), which allows users to choose the most suitable wavelength for sample analysis based on the sample characteristics and experimental goals.

Lambda 365+ UV/Vis Spectrophotometer System

LAMBDA 365+: The PerkinElmer Lambda 365+ is a double beam UV/Vis device for high stability and low stray light. It delivers a variable spectral bandwidth capability from 0.5 – 20 nm and a large sample compartment that can easily accommodate more than 10 sampling accessory combinations. Further it is equipped with a water jacketed S-Cell holder to control the temperature of the sample while stirring at three different speed settings.

BRUKER FT-IR VERTEX 70v

The ATR-FT-IR VERTEX 70v vacuum spectrometer delivers exceptional optical performance, with all components gold-coated for optimal efficiency. Covering a standard spectral range of 8000 to 350 cm⁻¹, its vacuum-sealed design ensures peak signal-to-noise ratio, enabling high-resolution results.

Horiba Fluorolog

The Fluorolog or fluorescence spectrometer measures not only the emission and excitation spectra of molecules in solution but can also be used for quantum yield determination and fluorescent lifetime analysis.

Malvern Zetasizer

The Zetasizer is used to measure the properties of particles in suspension, including particle size down to a few nanometers, through dynamic light scattering and particle surface charges using the zeta potential technique.

Microwave Digestion System (MARS)


The CEM Microwave Digestion System MARS 6™ enables up to six temperature-controlled microwave reactions simultaneously.
The system also offers a wide range of methods and the flexibility to customize conditions to meet each chemist’s specific requirements.

Glovebox

The Labmaster glovebox system is equipped with two large airlocks of different sizes and two pairs of gloves.
It also includes a refrigerator capable of cooling down to -35°C and a stereo microscope.
The system features a regenerable molecular sieve solvent filter.
In Eco mode, it is designed to use minimal amounts of argon.

BET

Specialization in the determination of the surface area of solid powder sample (mass > mg) using liquid N2. Several samples can be measured simultaneously through the multi-channel function.
