Lab Equipment Scientific research equipment:

	*Isotope mass-spectrometer* *Delta V Plus (Thermo Fisher Scientific,* *��*) Determination the ratio of stable isotopes of light elements: H/D, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, 18O/16O, 34S/32S Analyze a substance in gaseous, liquid and solid phase by using modules combustion in oxygen, oxygen-free pyrolysis acids processing gas chromatography. Simultaneously with the isotopic analysis of substances allows its GC - spectrometric analysis. The instrument provides a quantitative composition of elements
	*S8 TIGER– the new high-end wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer (Bruker, Germany)* The S8 TIGER spectrometer is the innovative high-end addition for elemental analysis in various industrial applications, including oil, lubricants, refinery, cement and mining. The superior analytical performance of the S8 TIGER results from the innovative optimized X-ray optics. While the new high-intensity X-ray tube excites the sample even more efficiently, novel analyzer crystals for different elements and specific applications improve detection limits, precision and resolution. The high analytical performance and innovative ease of use of the S8 TIGER come in a very compact, attractive design. The unique SampleCare feature automatically recognizes samples and the integrated contamination shields protect the S8 TIGER against all kinds of contamination, ensuring maximum uptime and availability.
	*Micro X-ray Fluorescence* *spectrometer* *M4 TORNADO* is the tool of choice for sample characterization using small-spot Micro X-ray Fluorescence (Micro-XRF) for information on composition and element distribution. Optimized for analysis speed and without compromising accuracy it measures a wide range of samples. Whether small or large, even or irregularly shaped — equipped with a large high-speed stage it supports 2D analysis of virtually any kind of inorganic, organic and even of liquid sample. Its large vacuum chamber enables light element detection. M4 TORNADO provides excellent spatial resolution with spot sizes down to 25 ?m for Mo Kα radiation. The new FlexiSpot feature allows to optionally chose a larger spot size of up to 200 ?m for improved reproducible quantification of irregularly shaped samples, such as powders, soils or granular raw materials.
	*Thermo Fisher Scientific iCAP Qc , Germany* It enables high-precision elemental analysis of solid and liquid samples. It is able to analyze ultra low amounts and concentrations of the samples . Liquid samples were analyzed directly, pre- dissolved solid samples , solid samples also possible to carry out local microanalysis by laser ablation with a dot size of 10 to 250 microns.
	STA 449 F1 Jupiter *The STA 449 F1 Jupiter? combines unlimited configuration flexibility and unmatched performance in just one instrument*. Equipment allows to control thermal properties of samples (Weight loss on heating , thermal effects of chemical reactions , heat capacity , thermal effects) in the temperature range of 30 to 1500 ? C. Thermal stability, decomposition behavior, composition, phase transitions, melting processes to be analyzed comprehensively and quickly; Easily to use top-loading system with exceptionally precise balance resolution (25 ng resolution at a weighing range of 5g) and highest long-term stability; Unique for STA: temperature-modulated DSC (TM-DSC).
