Rotational Rheometer
Anton Paar MCR 302e Compact Rheometer
A rotational rheometer measures the flow and deformation behavior of organic functional molecular liquids, such as liquid crystals or ionic liquids, by applying controlled shear stress or strain. It provides key insights into properties like viscosity, viscoelasticity, and molecular organization, enabling the study of phase transitions, self-assembly, and dynamic responses under shear conditions.

Automated Column Chromatography System
Santai Science SeptaBean Machine T-a 200-400 nm DAD UV detector
An automated column chromatography machine with a UV DAD (diode array detector) streamlines the separation and purification of compounds. It uses pre-packed columns and automated solvent gradients, while the UV DAD detector monitors elution by measuring absorbance across multiple wavelengths. This setup enables efficient, precise tracking and collection of target compounds.
