LABORATORY OF CATALYSIS AND ORGANIC SYNTHESIS

Agilent GC-MS

Agilent's Gas Chromatography Mass Analyzer (GC-MS) is a powerful analytical instrument combining gas chromatography and mass spectrometry for precise separation, identification, and quantification of chemical compounds in complex mixtures.

Electrasyn 2.0

It is an advanced electrochemical synthesis platform designed for precise and reproducible reactions, integrating power supply, stirring, and user-friendly controls, enabling researchers to perform sustainable redox transformations efficiently in modern organic and medicinal chemistry laboratories.

Julabo Cryostat

Refrigerated circulators from JULABO temperature control their applications efficiently and hassle-free. High heating/cooling capacities guarantee short heat-up and cool-down times. The refrigerated circulators are available in various sizes and performance classes for flexible use in individual temperature applications. You can use the units for external or internal temperature applications anytime.

Furnace

A furnace is an electric heating device used to syntheses of heterogeneous compound via pyrolysis and purifications of inorganic compounds and organic synthesis. One possible design consists of a cylindrical cavity surrounded by heating coils that are embedded in a thermally insulating matrix. Temperature can be controlled via feedback from a thermocouple.

Agilent GC

Agilent's Gas Chromatography(GC) is a highly reliable analytical instrument used for separating and analyzing volatile compounds, offering excellent sensitivity, reproducibility, and precise control, making it widely applied in environmental, pharmaceutical, and chemical research laboratories worldwide.

HPLC

It is a chromatographic technique that can separate a mixture of compounds and is used in biochemistry and analytical chemistry to identify, quantify, and purify the individual components of the mixture.

Heidolph Rotary Evaporator

A device used in labs for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation.

Heidolph Magnetic Stirrers

A magnetic stirrer is a device widely used in laboratories and consists of a rotating magnet or a stationary electromagnet that creates a rotating magnetic field.

High-Pressure Reactor

A pressure reactor is a chemical reaction vessel that conducts a chemical reaction under high pressure and temperature. Researchers can operate the vessel in batch mode at temperatures ranging from 150 °C to 500 °C. It is manufactured from stainless steel grade 316-L as per the process requirements.
