Our laboratory is home to state-of-the-art equipment that supports our endeavors in material synthesis
and crystal structure determination. Below is a list of some of the major
equipment available in our lab:
Laboratory Equipment
-
2 Thermolyne muffle furnaces capable of reaching 1200°C (controlled by Eurotherm multi-segment temperature-controllers).
-
1 Labotec chamber furnace with a maximum temperature of 1300°C (controlled by an Omron multi-segment temperature-controller).
-
1 Single segment mufflefurnace capable of reaching 1100°C.
-
Fume hood and oxy-hydrogen flame source for vacuum and argon sealing silica-glass tubes.
-
Vigortech glovebox for safe storage and usage of high-purity air-sensitive elements and chemicals.
-
Centrifuge for decanting samples at high temperature.
