Analytical Instrumentations

Oriel ABA Solar Simulator

This highly uniform solar simulator is designed for accurate solar simulated irradiation. The light fluctuation is minimized by a controller unit that adjusts voltage according to shifts in light intensities. This system in conjunction with a custom-built quartz flow cell enables the precise evaluation of the photodegradation of organic molecules.

Horiba Aqualog Fluorometers

These excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence instruments can simultaneously measure EEM and UV-Vis spectra. Their fast scan rates makes them suitable to handle large numbers of samples in relatively short time and allows to quickly apply Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC). One is connected to the solar simulator, but both can be used independently.

Eksigent Nano LC Ultra system

This HPLC system is capable of providing microflow to be interfaced directly with standard ionization sources of mass spectrometers, but can also be changed to nanoflow to provide a delivery and separation system for nanospray LC-MS applications.

Thermo LTQ Orbitrap XL Mass Spectrometer

This highly versatile mass spectrometer can achieve a maximum resolution of 100,000 and can be used to elucidate complex organic mixtures, including structural evaluations of precicely measured masses using its MSn capability. It can be interfaced with several ionization sources such as atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization (ESI), chemical ionization (APCI) and photo ionization (APPI).

Agilent 1260 Infinity II Liquid Chromatographs

These large flow range LCs are connected to the Orbitrap MS and triple quadrupole MS. With a flow splitter they can perform like nanoflow LCs. Modules include a diode array detector and a fluorescence detector.

Agilent 6420 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

This high-resolution mass spectrometer is ideal for quantification by multiple-reaction monitoring


Shimadzu Total Organic Carbon Analyzer with a Total Nitrogen Unit

This instrument measures dissolved organic carbon and dissolved nitrogen using a catalytic combustion method.
