Chromatography, Thermal Analysis and Electrochemistry Unit
THE UNIT IN 2014
The Chromatography, Thermal Analysis and Electrochemistry Unit supports ICIQ researchers in the mentioned techniques. The Unit technicians manage open use instrumentation such as glove boxes and solvent purification systems, micro and submicro balances, two melting point apparatus, a vapour pressure osmometer, a centrifuge and a freeze dryer. The Unit also gives support in the use of the chromatographs and glove boxes belonging to research groups.
In 2014, the unit incorporated a new HPLC equipped with a single quadrupole MSD. It also made available the use of supercritical fluid chromatography for chiral separations.
