Facilities

ESR spectrometer (Bruker ECS 106)
ESR spectrometer Bruker (ECS 106) equipped with temperature control for measurements from liquid nitrogen (77K) up to room temperature. The system allows also  measurements under irradiation. 

TL READER (Harshaw TLD 3500)
It is an instrument for reading of thermoluminescent materials. A photomultiplier allows to detect the fluorescence light emitted following the progressive heating of the material thermoluminescent through a plate heat controlled. The instrument, in the case of cultural heritage, it is useful for dating of finds pottery, flints and burnt earth.

Profiler NMR (Bruker Biospin, mod. Minispec)
The NMR profiler can measure the water content and therefore moisture in samples of various types and is able to analyze the degree of porosity on the surface, with depths ranging from 2 mm to 5 mm. 

Atomic absorption (Varian)
The instrument permits the detection of heavy elements present even in trace amounts (concentrations below the ppm). The tool is useful for the study of cultural heritage degradation resulting from pollution environmental.

XRF spectrometer (Bruker AXS, mod. ARTAX 200)
Portable instrumentation for X-ray fluorescence qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis. The instrument detection consists of a SDD (Silicon Drift Detector) with a resolution of <145 eV (@ 5.9 keV). The target of the X-ray tube is Mo and is equipped with micro X-rays collimators of different diameter.  The instrument is equipped with a sighting system laser and a CCD camera.

LIBS Modì (Marwan Technology)
Portable instrumentation for spectral analyses ablation Laser induced by a laser a double pulse Q-switched. The laser type Nd.YAG (1064 nm) has an energy in the range 50-100 mJ and a repetition frequency from 1 to 15 Hz the pulse duration is approximately 7ns. The type Echelle spectrometer has a resolution (Deltaλ / λ = 5000). 

Gamma Spectroscopy
Portable instrumentation for spectral analyses ablation Laser induced by a laser a double pulse Q-switched. The laser type Nd.YAG (1064 nm) has an energy in the range 50-100 mJ and a repetition frequency from 1 to 15 Hz the pulse duration is approximately 7ns. The type Echelle spectrometer has a resolution (Deltaλ / λ = 5000). 

Thermal Imaging Camera-IR (AVIO, mod. TS-200)
The IR camera is equipped with a microbolometer detector with resolution of 320 x 240 pixels uncooled, with a capacity of observation in the range of temperatures between -20 °C and 300 °C (precision 0.08 ° C). 

TIMATIC Micro-Extractor                                                          Working cycle is fully automatic and alternates a dynamic phase, obtained in programmed pressure (from 1Bar to 9Bar), a static phase necessary for the transfer of the substance in the solvent extractable. During the stance phase generates a forced percolation, which, thanks to the programmable recirculation ensures a continuous flow of solvent to 'interior of the plant matrix thus avoiding over-saturation and the formation of preferential channels, thereby ensuring a total extraction of the active of the product itself.Fields of application:Extraction of active ingredients, herbs, plant extracts from medicinal plants Extraction of plant material for food, livestock. Preparation of fluid extracts, tinctures, macerated glycerin, oleoiti, Enola.Production of plant extracts. Speed up the aging process of alcohol. Remove specific substances from the processing of production waste
