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.

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.

DVS advantage
The DVS advantage 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 advantage is the older DVS of the two located in science city and therefore this piece of equipment is recommended to be used for determining experimental conditions prior to collecting data on the DVS resolution.
For more information and specifications please consult the DVS Advantage brochure (pdf 970 KB).
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 3231 KB).
Accupyc II 1345
The Accupyc II 1345 is a helium Gas pycnometer. Gas pycnometry is one of the most reliable techniques for obtaining true, skeletal, envelope, bulk and tap volume and density.
This piece of equipment uses a 1cm3 sampling chamber and can be used to measure the density of solids, powders, liquids, or dissolved substrates at a known concentration in a solvent of known density.
