Chromatography, Thermal Analysis and Electrochemistry Unit


THE UNIT IN 2013

The Chromatography, Thermal Analysis and Electrochemistry Unit is focused to support ICIQ researchers in the mentioned techniques.

Moreover, Unit technicians manage open use instrumentation such as glove boxes and solvent purification systems, micro and submicro balances, two melting point apparatus, a vapour pressure osmometer, a centrifuge and a freeze dryer.

The Unit also gives support in the use of the chromatographs and glove boxes belonging to research groups.
