Analytical instruments
ATLAS is complemented by a suite of analytical instruments fitted with auto-samplers or plate readers for high throughput testing, to minimise operator time. Each instrument has been chosen to support research aligning with the ATLAS research themes.
- Thermogravimetric analyser for compositional and gas sorption analysis from ambient to 1000 °C
- 25 position autosampler
- Blending gas delivery module for automated switching between gases, and/or controlled blending of binary gas mixtures
- Microplate spectrometer compatible with up to 384 well plates
- Absorbance measurements (200 – 1000 nm) at rates up to one well per second
- Fluorescence intensity, FRET and time resolved fluorescence (240 – 900 nm)
- Temperature control from ambient to 45 °C
- Microplate nephelometer for turbidity, solubility and reaction kinetics measurements
