Instruments

• Cary 100 UV-Vis ( Instrument )
  

  UV-visible spectrophotometer, it is controlled by the Cary WinUV software, a Windows-based software featuring an modular design.

• Crystal 16 ( Instrument )
  

  This instrument has 16 reactors at a volume of 1mL, that can easily determine solubility curves and screen for crystallization conditions. Applications:
  • Solubility determination
  • Phase diagrams
  • Co-Crystal screening
  • Chiral separation
  • Salt screening
  • Polymorph screening
  • Polymer dissolution studies (LCST and UCST)
  • Amorphous solid dispersions
  • Hydrate formation studies

• Crystalline ( Instrument )
  

  Optimizes your crystallization process at an early stage with only small amount of material with through the vial analytical capabilities like turbidity, particle visualization, or Raman.

• DSCQ2000 ( Instrument )
  

  Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) measures temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material. Common usage includes investigation, selection, comparison and end-use performance evaluation of materials in research, quality control and production applications. Properties, measured by DSC include glass transitions, "cold" crystallization, phase changes, melting, crystallization, product stability, cure / cure kinetics, and oxidative stability.

• Hot-stage (Linkam Scientific Instruments, LTS 420) ( Instrument )
  

• Polarized optical microscope (Nikon Eclipse LV100N POL) with camera (Nikon DS-Fi2) ( Instrument )
  

  Applications:
  • Antennae
  • Telecom & Electronics
  • Plastic Manufacturing
  • Composites
  • Fabrics/Textiles
  • Asbestos
  • Telescope optics
  • Mobile phones, shavers & watches

• Raman Microscope DXR2 (ThermoFisher Scientific) ( Instrument )
  

  Applications: Forensics; Pharmaceutical; Art Restoration/Conservation; Archaeology: Solar; Polymers; Failure Analysis; Gemology; Nanotechnology; Academic research

• Raman RXN2 Analyzer Hybrid ( Instrument )
  

  Four-channel Raman system designed for use in analytical laboratories for routine sample analysis or support of R&D projects, as well as early process development and scale-up settings for in situ analysis.

• Rigaku SmartLab X-ray ( Instrument )
  

  1. X-ray diffraction (XRD)
  2. Advanced state-of-the-art high-resolution XRD system powered by Guidance expert system software

• Rigaku XtalLab Supernova ( Instrument )
  

  1. X-ray diffraction (XRD)
  2. A single crystal X-ray diffractometer for small molecule
  3. 3D structure analysis

• Spin Coater (Specialty Coating Systems) SCS 6800 Spin Coater ( Instrument )
  

  The SCS 6800 features proprietary circuitry that allow for the uniform application of photoresists, polyimides, metal-organics, dopants, silica films and most organic and aqueous solutions to planar substrates.

• Stereomicroscope (Nikon SMZ-800 Zoom) ( Instrument )
  

  The SMZ800N comes with a 1 – 8x zooming range, with higher magnification than conventional models and enables high-resolution observation. Clear and bright images with reduced chromatic aberrations can be acquired throughout the extended zoom range through “Plan Apo WF” and “ED plan WF” objectives.

• TGA Q500 ( Instrument )
  

  The TA Instruments Q500 TGA offers a high temperature limit for your thermal analysis needs. The instrument measures the mass loss of a sample very accurately versus temperature. The temperature can go from room temperature up to 1000ºC and the balance can handle samples up to 1 g in mass although a standard operating mass is 5 - 10 mg to prevent samples from falling off the pan. The automated sampler can accommodate 16 samples that will run in succession.
