Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (Q50) is a powerful technique which measures the mechanical properties of materials while they are subjected to a periodic stress. It is one of the most powerful tools available for the study of the behaviour of plastic Read More …

Polarized Light Microscope (ours is the Leica DMRX) equipped with a digital camera and a temperature controlled stage (Linkam LTS 350). This instrument is used to image the microstructure of our lipid and modified lipid networks. Indeed, we are able Read More …

The 3200 Q TRAP® LC/MS/MS system provides excellent sensitivity, superior dynamic range, and reliability across a range of identification and quantitation applications. Patented hybrid triple quadrupole/Linear Ion Trap technology takes you farther than conventional ion traps and enables you to Read More …

Gas Chromatograph – Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) and Gas Chromatograph with Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID, 6890N Series) both from Agilent Technologies and used daily as the workhorses of the laboratory. They are used to analyze volatile lipid molecules and small modified lipid molecules. Read More …

Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) measures temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material. Common usage includes investigation, selection, comparison and end-use performance evaluation of materials in research, quality control and production applications. Properties measured by DSC techniques Read More …

NMR Spectrometer – ours is a Bruker minispec mq 20, and is one of the latest of a series of NMR instruments for time and temperature resolved liquid to solid analysis, such as solid fat content (SFC) analysis. The instrument is Read More …
