Netzsch STA DSC/TGA (with GC-MS and FTIR detectors)
The Netzsch STA DSC/TGA is an advanced thermal analysis instrument that combines two powerful techniques, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), to study the thermal properties of materials. The instrument can simultaneously measure changes in mass and heat flow as a…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/laboratory-analytical-services/perkin-elmer-elemental-analyser-ea-chns-and-o
Perkin Elmer elemental analyser (EA) for CHN/S and O
The Perkin Elmer elemental analyser (EA) is an analytical instrument used to determine the elemental composition of organic and inorganic samples. It is specifically designed for the analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen (CHNSO) in a wide range of samples, including soils, sediments, plants, and tissues. The EA operates by…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/laboratory-analytical-services/booking-procedures

An NEP-NRF grant of R10 000 000 was awarded to upgrade the liquid-sample capabilities of the 600 MHz Bruker NMR spectrometer. In addition, the NMR spectrometer will also be expanded to perform solid-state NMR. This 2-in-1 NMR spectrometer will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and will be the only 600 MHz solid-state NMR spectrometer in…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/key-equipment
