Elementary Analysis Laboratory
The elemental analyzer, EA 1110 CHNS-O, is an equipment that allows the determination of the percentage of C, H, N and S in organic, inorganic solid or liquid samples (non-volatile liquids, oils). The analytical method of determination consists in: combustion of the sample (1000 ° C) followed by catalytic oxidation and reduction processes; separation of the gases produced in a gas-chromatographic column and analysis of the same with a thermal conductivity detector; signal processing and determination of the percentage of elements present in the sample with the EAGER 200 program

Raman Spectroscopy Laboratory
Raman spectroscopy is based on the phenomenon of inelastic diffusion of electromagnetic radiation due to interaction with the vibrational and rotational motions of a molecule (Raman effect). The spectrum of light scattered by materials illuminated by a coherent and monochromatic radiation (laser) depends only on the vibrations of the chemical bonds that make up the compound under examination, allowing to obtain information on the chemical composition, the molecular structure and the intermolecular interactions. It is a non-invasive, non-destructive technique and is of fundamental interest in various fields of materials science and cultural heritage
