Physical Chemistry and Nanoscale Science

We have a variety of advanced instrumentation available for Physical Chemistry and nanoscale science experiments.

UV/Vis Absorbance Spectroscopy

Custom measurement configurations are possible for UV/Vis. Each measurement needs a light source, sample holder, and spectrometer.
