The Institute has a number of well-equipped laboratories, which allows to operate at various levels of the process of research and technological innovation. The “Facilities” section of the website offers a complete and detailed tour of these valuable resources.
In addition to this, ICMATE wants to propose a journey that, from week to week, will lead to the discovery of its vast technology park.


This week's featured laboratories

The laboratory is equipped with several laser spectroscopic systems for the development of advanced optical/spectroscopic techniques for chemical and morphological characterization of nanoparticles. In particular aerosols and micro-pollutants at the exhaust of combustion systems and in the environment are investigated.

New energy devices (catalytic or not) for micro-generation are also currently under development.

  • EQUIPMENT:
    • Cw laser (medium and high power);
    • Pulsed laser ( IR, UV, VIS);
    • Calibrated lamps;
    • Detectors: monochromators coupled with photomultipliers, CCD (intensified or not), spectrographic system coupled with ICCD, ), spectrographic system coupled with intensified diode array;
    • FT-IR spectrometer (Nicolet 6700), equipped with ATR (for the analysis of powders and solutions) and heated variable path cell (for gas analysis);
    • Pneumatic system for rapid insertion sampling of nanoparticles;
    • Home-made Laser-Induced Incandescence instrument for the detection of carbonaceous nanoparticles ate the exhaust of combustion systems and in the environment;
    • Home-made carbonaceous nanoparticles generator (for calibration purpose).
