Hot Roller

Principal User: Mr. James Faulkner

Deputy: Dr. Jing Wan

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: Mr. James Faulkner

Deputy: Dr. Jing Wan

• 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: Mr. James Faulkner

Deputy: Dr. Jing Wan

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.
