Particle Engineering Core Facility
Particle Engineering Core Facility
The Particle Engineering Core Facility (PECF) at the Department of Chemical Engineering offers access to high end analytical equipment for a wide range of applications. We offer training in the use of this equipment, but our engineers can also perform the analyses for our collaborators.
The engineers at PECF are working continuously on new applications and method development to improve the capabilities of the Core Facility.
What the Core Facility can offer:
- Element analysis of solid and liquid samples
- Particle size distribution analysis
- Particle concentration measurements
- Particle surface characterization
- Spectrophotometric analysis at wavelengths between 190 and 1100 nm
- Analysis of magnetic particle heating properties and drug delivery simulation
- Separation of materials by flotation
- Ion quantification
- Dry and wet milling
What is a core facility?
- Core facilities make advanced scientific technology and equipment, test samples, data collections and methods available for researchers regionally and nationally.
- Core facilities conduct their own research, and development in their fields.
- Core facilities offer highly qualified personnel with special competence for operation and maintenance, as well as training of users.
Cooperation with NTNU NanoLab
The Particle Engineering Centre and the Particle Engineering Core Facility have a good cooperation with NTNU NanoLab, and have access to their infrastructure.
