Exceptional facilities :
- Mettler Toledo LabMax: A lab reactor that can be used to perform chemical reactions automatically. Allowing a quick development and optimization of new methods for preparative chemistry.
- Spin-Coater: To deposit uniform thin films to flat substrates.
- Screen-Printing: To transfer ink onto a substrate following a predefined pattern.
- Ethos One MW Furnance Milestone: The ETHOS UP is equipped with two 950 Watt magnetrons for a total of 1900 Watt making it the most powerful microwave digestion system available for sample preparation.
- MBraun Easylab Glovebox: High vacuum feedthroughs and an automatic regenerable oxygen and moisture single reactor column inert gas purification system that purifies the glovebox atmosphere to levels of less than 1 ppm oxygen and moisture, allow to work under clean and inert conditions.
