It measures most metals and elements. To learn the detection limit of different element, click on the element on the periodic table here.
Protocol (coming soon...)
UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
(LAMBDA 365 UV/Vis Spectrophotometer, Perkin Elmer)
What can it measure?
Any organic chemicals that is photosensitive. It can also measure turbidity.
Protocol (coming soon...)
Particle Counters
(AccuSizer® SPOS Systems)
What can it measure?
Particle size distribution (0.5 µm to 500 µm) and particle counts.
Protocol (coming soon...)
Floor Centrifuge
(Avanti® J-E Centrifuge, 369001, Beckman Coulter)
What can it do?
Centrifuge liquid sample in temperature controlled environment.
The J-E centrifuge accommodates the comprehensive J-Series line of standard and biosafe certified rotors and labware for sample sizes from just a few microliters up-to 4 liters. For total versatility, select the AllSpin JS-5.3 high capacity swinging bucket rotor system, capable of processing up-to twenty-four 96-well microtiter plates and offers the flexibility of processing a variety of sample sizes in bottles from 4 x 500 mL to 96 x 17 mm tubes. The J-E centrifuge generates maximum speeds up to 21,000 RPM (53,300 x g) and offers the capacity of processing up-to 4 liters in under 10 minutes. The J-E's high torque switched reluctance (SR) direct drive achieves faster acceleration and deceleration with gentle precision that delivers the fastest separations in the shortest run times, performance unattainable by standard high-speed centrifuges. Using CFC-free refrigerants and a maintenance-free vacuum pump to partially remove friction-generating air molecules, the J-E offers better temperature control (-10° C - +40° C in 1° C increments), a more energy efficient system, lower heat output (< 6,900 BTUs) and quieter operation for a comfortable, productive work environment.
