Equipment
The laboratory is equipped with all tools needed for the synthesis and characterization of polymers and biopolymers and has access to the common equipment of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the University of Crete.
Chromatography
Two Shimadzu systems and an ÄKTA routinely used for characterizations and separations (HPLC, GPC/SEC, FPLC).
Spectroscopy
UV-Vis.
Vacuum lines
Three vacuum lines allow manipulations under inert or oxygen free conditions.
Rotary evaporators and Pumps
at least one working at all times
Reactors and Incubators
for organic and polymer chemistry and bioconjugations as well as for cultivations.
Freeze Dryer
(our favorite)
Centrifuge
with temperature control.
3D printers
we make PLA after all
Syringe pump
