Instruments We Use
ECS uses state-of-the-art instruments โ many accessible through collaboration with IIT Roorkee and advanced testing facilities in the region.
TGA / STA
Measures mass change and heat flow simultaneously as a function of temperature โ used for thermal stability, decomposition, and phase transitions.
DSC
Measures heat absorbed or released during thermal events โ melting, crystallization, glass transition, curing reactions, and specific heat capacity.
XRD
Identifies crystalline phases, determines lattice parameters, measures crystallite size, and provides structural information for bulk and thin film samples.
SEM-EDS
High-resolution imaging of surfaces and microstructures, combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy for elemental mapping.
FTIR
Identifies molecular bonds, functional groups, and chemical composition of organic and inorganic materials in solid, liquid, or powder form.
DLS / Zeta
Measures nanoparticle hydrodynamic size, size distribution (PDI), and surface charge (zeta potential) for stability and formulation studies.
