Hot Roller

Principal User: Dr. Jing Wan

Deputy: Dr Wing Chung Liu

MSK-HRP-01 is compact Hot Rolling Cylinder Press with a max working temperature of 100°C. The tool is designed to increase the active material density of electrodes after coating in Li-ion battery research. It has a pair of 100mm width steel rollers with a heating capacity of 100°C max.

Sartorius Micro Balance

Principal User: Dr. Jing Wan

Deputy: Dr Wing Chung Liu

Wherever maximum accuracy is required, even for minimal sample quantities
Serial weighing that benefits from very fast response times and a fully automatic draft shield
µg-accurate weighing of toxic, hygroscopic, or heavily oxidizing samples can be done in laminar flow boxes, glove boxes or under fume hoods
Areas with strict demands on cleanliness
Differential weighing (ashing or incineration, drying, measurement of coatings, checking spillage quantities, etc.)
Mass determination that allows for air buoyancy
Air density determination for metrological weight analyses
Complete calibration, adjustment and documentation routines for monitoring test and measuring equipment when integrated into a quality system

VSP-300 Potentiostat

Principal User: Dr. Jing Wan

Deputy: Dr Wing Chung Liu

The VSP-300 multichannel potentiostat / galvanostat offering 6 slots to set from 1 to 6 channel boards. Each channel board can accomodate an ultra low current cable and can be associated with one or several booster kits. Two kinds of booster kits are available: ±4 A / 14 V and ±1 A / 48 V. Up to five boosters of 4A can be plugged in one VSP-300 chassis. They can be parallelized to reach up to 20 A. Each channel board can be equipped with a linear scan generator. Not only a multichannel system, this instrument can be controlled independently by several users thanks to the LAN connection.

Gas Sorption Analyzer (BET instrument)

Principal User: Dr. Jing Wan

Deputy: Dr Wing Chun Liu

Simultaneous surface area and pore size analysis of up to four samples with NOVA 4200 for dramatic increase in productivity. Degas up to four samples while pore size and surface area analysis is in progress for maximum throughput.

Automatic surface area and pore size analysis, computation, display and printing of results. Wide variety of sample cells to accommodate any sample. Compact, benchtop design to conserve valuable lab space. Protective doors for safety.
