Nicolet Summit FTIR
The Nicolet Summit FTIR spectrophotometer can be used for non-destructive measurement of solid and liquid samples. Infrared radiation is used with wavelengths of 4000 to 500 cm-1.
During measurement, functional groups will absorb infrared radiation if the frequency matches the stretching, bending and wagging frequencies of the functional groups. IR spectra is then produced which shows bands of absorption which can be used to determine the functional groups within the sample.
For more information and specifications please consult the Nicolet Summit FTIR brochure (pdf 4 MB).
Netzsch STA 449 F5 Jupiter
The Netzsch STA 449 F5 Jupiter is a Simultaneous TGA-DSC. Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA) generally refers to the simultaneous application of Thermogravimetry (TG, TGA) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) or Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to the same sample in one instrument.
DSC Possibilities include Melting/crystallization behaviour, Solid-solid transitions, Polymorphism, Degree of crystallinity, Glass transitions, Post-Crystallization, Oxidative stability, Purity Determination, Kinetics Neo. TGA Possibilities include Mass changes, Temperature stability, Oxidation/reduction behaviour, Decomposition, Corrosion studies, Compositional analysis.
For more information and specifications please consult the Netzsch STA 449 F5 Jupiter brochure (pdf 2.5 MB).
Hitachi DSC200 NEXTA DSC
The Hitachi DSC200 NEXTA is a differential scanning calorimeter used to analyse the thermal properties of materials by precisely measuring heat flow as samples are heated or cooled. It provides high sensitivity and stable baseline performance to detect events like melting, glass transitions and crystallisation for quality control and research.
DVS Resolution
The DVS Resolution is a Dynamic Vapour Sorption machine which makes use of a highly accurate microbalance to measure real time changes in sample weight as a direct result of temperature and humidity changes.
The DVS resolution is the more accurate of the two DVS located in science city and therefore it is recommended to be used for data acquisition after determining the required experimental conditions using the DVS advantage.
For more information and specifications please consult the DVS Resolution brochure (pdf 3.2 MB).
Anton Paar UltraPyc 5000 micro pycnometer
The Anton Paar Ultrapyc 5000 micro is a high precisiosn gas pycnometer used to measure the true skeletal density and volume of very small solid or powdered samples by analyzing inert gas displacement. Designed by Anton Paar, it offers excellent accuracy for research and quality-control applications, even with minimal sample quantities.
JASCO V-770 UV-Visible/NIR Spectrophotometer
The V-770 UV-Visible/NIR Spectrophotometer is a high-sensitivity double-beam system covering UV-visible to near-infrared wavelengths up to 2700 nm. It features a single monochromator with dual gratings, PMT and PbS detectors, offering higher optical throughput and improved signal-to-noise compared to double monochromator systems—ideal for diffuse and specular NIR reflectance measurements. It supports absorbance, transmittance, and reflectance for liquids and solids, including absolute and diffuse reflectance. Key features include variable spectral bandwidth, high-speed scanning (up to 8,000 nm/min preview), low stray light, and optimized gratings, enabling precise, reliable measurements for advanced optical and material analysis.
