Materials Characterization

This class describes equipment that provides generic techniques to characterize samples, materials or specimens. The defining characteristic is that these items of equipment could equally be applied to a portion of the sample or specimen as to the whole.

The NIRvana family of cameras, which includes the NIRvana and NIRvana ST models, are the only scientific-grade InGaAs cameras on the market specifically designed for quantitative near infrared/shortwave IR (SWIR) imaging and spectroscopy applications. They are a result of Princeton Instruments’ decades of experience and expertise in designing ultra-low noise cameras for scientific and R&D applications.

The Glutomatic system is the standardized international method for establishing the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of gluten.

When baking bread and producing noodles or pasta, the flour gluten content and strength will determine the quality of the finished product.

The effect of gluten quantity and quality in the flour used for breads, cookies, crackers, and pasta is dramatic. The wet gluten quantity of the flour strongly influences the volume of the product. Using the glutomatic system, you can determine the baking quality of wheat and flour.

The Waters 1525 is an integrated, high-pressure, binary HPLC pumps that feature on-board pulse dampening and efficient mixing. Their pulse-free solvent flow, from analytical to semi-preparative flow rates, makes them ideal for use with highly sensitive detectors. Designed for use with 2 to 4.6 mm I.D. columns in routine LC and LC/MS applications, these pumps have a programmable flow-rate range of 0.00 to 10.00 mL/min in 0.01 mL increments.

The HCS302 microscope hot and cold stage is a single thin film heater stage. The HCS302 temperature controlled environment is an ideal choice for optical thermal microscopy or for other general applications requiring optical access to the sample. All of the windows on the HCS302 stage are removable and exchangeable allowing the HCS302 to be used for small angle X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and other experiments requiring beam access to the sample.
