Capabilities

The rates for each instrument and service are listed in this document.

Steady-state fluorescence (UV-Vis-IR) - capability for measurements with solutions and solids.
Time-resolved fluorescence (100 ps resolution, light emitting diodes and laser diodes for excitation) - capability for measurements with solutions and solids.
Laser flash photolysis - 20 ns resolution - absorption detection between 270 - 720 nm.
Stopped-flow - 1.5 ms resolution - absorption and fluorescence detection.
Kinetic studies with continuous irradiation at specific wavelengths (250 - 700 nm) and simultaneous absorption detection.
UV-Vis spectrometers with multiple sample holders.
Circular dichroism.
Rheometer.
