Our Equipment

Scientific research at a high level also require modern laboratory equipment and suitable facilities for research and innovation. The CAVS group houses essential equipment for mid-infrared spectroscopy, raman spectroscopy, nanoscale imaging and mid-IR quantum cascade lasers (QCL) for our developments in solving analytical chemical measurement problems.

Bruker Vertex 80v

High-End FTIR

VERTEX 80v FT-IR spectrometer is a high-end research instrument covering the whole mid-infrared range.

Bruker Vertex 70v

High-End FT-IR

VERTEX 70v is our second high-end FT-IR spectrometer which we use for new developments, such as ATR-FTIR with an custom build acoustic trap.

Bruker PMA50

Polarization Modulation Measurements

An adaption of our Vertex70v, the PMA50 module allows us the collection of VCD and PEM-IRRAS spectra. This enables the study of chiral molecules in solution as well as the assessment of thin layers of reactive molecules.

Bruker Hyperion 3000

FT-IR Microscope

The Bruker Hyperion 3000 is and FT-IR microscope with an MCT and FPA Detector. The whole mid-IR range is covered and measurements are possible in transmission, reflection and eflection and attenuated total reflection (ATR).

Bruker Tensor 37

FT-IR

Our Bruker Tensor 37 is also a versatile research grade FT-IR spectrometer equipped with modules to measure solid and liquid samples.

Varian Cary 50 Bio

UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

A UV-Vis spectrophotometer designed for measuring liquid chemical and biological samples.

Bruker nanoIR3-s

AFM-IR

Our Bruker nanoIR3-s combines scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and nanoscale photothermal IR spectroscopy (AFM-IR) for nanoscale imaging.

Bruker nanoIR1

AFM-IR

Our Bruker nanoIR1 is a so called bottom-up system, where system takes advantage of an ATR setup, which makes possible to conduct photothermal IR measurements at nanoscale in liquids.

WiTec alpha300 RSA+

Raman Imaging Microscope

The WiTec alpha300 RSA+ is a state-of-the-art confocal Raman imaging tool allowing non-dectructive imaging and hyperspectral image generation.

DRS Daylight Solutions ChemDetect

QCL-IR Liquid Analyzer

Our ChemDetect is a powerful, compact QCL liquid, mid-IR spectrometer for protein analysis and more.

Raise3D E2

FDM 3D Printer

The Raise3D E2 is a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer with independent dual extruders. It serves as a valuable helper in our research , enabling rapid- and cost-effective prototyping.

Coffee Machine

High-End Caffeinator

The coffe-machine, an essential companion in our daily research endeavors, fuels our productivity with its brews. Its presence offers a dose of energy, stimulating creativity and focus and thus making it an indispensable asset in our group.
