Laboratory equipment

IKA A10 basic (IKA®-Werke) grinder

Handy grinder with interchangeable blades and 50 ml capacity for grinding materials up to 5 Mohs. The grinder can be cooled with water or dry ice. The blade speed is 25,000 rpm with pulse grinding and timer.

IKA A10 basic (IKA®-Werke) grinder

Older type of IKA grinder with a blade speed of 20 000 rpm and manual control.

Bio RS-24 (Biosan)

Vertical rotator with timer and chooseable rotation speed. Possibility of using several platforms for mounting tubes according to their volume, ranging from 1.5 ml to 50 ml.

AS 200 sieving device

The Retsch sieving device AS 200 is used for sieving, sieve analysis and establishing a sieving curve of various bulk materials, especially ash and slag, or unburned carbon from combustion plants. 

SM2000 (Retsh) mill

The SM2000 shear mill is used to grind and homogenize all samples for analysis from biomass, coal, plastic, paper, to small metal sheet material.

SICK GMS810 SXRF

On-line gas mixture analyser. Detected gases: CO; CO₂ ; CH₄ ; H₂; O₂ ; saturated hydrocarbon C₂H₆; unsaturated hydrocarbon C₂H₄.

Furnace LH 06/13 (LAC)

Electric laboratory furnace LH 06/13 with programmable HT 40 A controller allows heating of samples up to 1345 °C. 

IKA C 2000  (IKA®-Werke)

Calorimeter equipped with a separate water cooler KV500 designed for determining the heating values of solid and liquid fuels.

Niton XL3t (Thermo Scientific™)

Handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzer with benchtop holder, non-destructive elemental analysis of elements from Mg to the heavier elements of the periodic table.

SDT Q600 (TA Instruments)

Simultaneous thermal analysis up to 1500 °C. DSC calorimetry - detecting thermodynamic changes by measuring the thermal energy required to compensate for the temperature difference between the sample and the reference substance.

Nicolet iS10 (Thermo Scientific™)

FTIR spectrometer designed for the mid-infrared region 7800-350 cm^-1.  Molecular spectroscopic detection of powders, liquids and gases.

Experimental equipment for determining the autoignition temperature of soil samples.

Dionex ICS 1000

Ion chromatograph equipped with an analytical pre-column and an anex stationary phase column for anion analysis. The sensitivity of the instrument is increased by the suppressor addition.

SpectrAA 220 (Varian)

Dual beam atomic absorption and emission spectrometer, i.e. compares 2 beams obtained by splitting the source radiation using rotating mirror segments. One beam passes through the absorbing medium and the other (comparison beam) passes around it.

 ICP-OES iCAP 7400 (Thermo Scientific™)

Optical emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma, enables the determination of 68 elements of the periodic table. Detection limits vary, with detection limits of up to 3 µg/L achievable for some elements.
