Laser Spectroscopy with CO2LPAS
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
CO2LPAS with applications in: Human health: The analysis of human breath for (early) diagnosis of diseases has certainly one of the highest potential impacts on public health and quality of life. In clinical medicine, breath testing is the least invasive of all diagnostic tests, presenting minimal risk and negligible discomfort to patients. Ethylene (C2H4) as indicator of lipid peroxidation in humans. Trace gas analysis of the breath composition gives information about various processes occurring inside the human body. One such process is lipid peroxidation in which free radicals induce oxidative degradation of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, causing cell damage and cell death. In normal situation, free radical formation and antioxidants are balanced. Under certain conditions (e.g. UV radiation, ionising radiation (X-ray) trauma, pulmonary and skin diseases, heart failure, diabetes, mental disorders, cigarette smoke, etc.) this balance is disturbed. Ammonia: The breath ammonia level can serve for determining the exact time necessary for optimal degree of dialysis for a patient with end-stage renal disease at every session. Environmental: Molecular gases of environmental interest can be identified and measured quantitatively (ethanol, methanol, carbon dioxide). Plant physiology: Ethylene acts as a vegetal hormone produced by all plant tissues, is transported by diffusion through plant tissues, increases the plasmatic membrane permeability, has multiple effects on the cell metabolism, increases the oxidative processes, the transport inside the cells and the biodegradation of the organic acids and chlorophyll, plays a major role in many metabolic processes. Analysis of surgical smoke: The study performed in vitro by quantitative analysis of toxic gases from surgical smoke produced after interventions with surgical laser (acroleine, acetonitrile, ammonia, benzene, ethylene, methanol, toluene).

Thin Film Laser Flash (TF-LFA)
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
A sample (bulk of thin films from 80nm up to 200nm) is positioned on a sample holder, located in a furnace. The furnace is then held at a predetermined temperature. At this temperature the sample surface is then irradiated with a programmed energy pulse (laser or xenon flash). This energy pulse results in a homogeneous temperature rise at the sample surface. The resulting temperature rise of the rear surface of the sample is measured by a IR detector and thermal diffusivity values are computed from the temperature rise versus time data. The resulting measuring signal computes the thermal diffusivity.

CO2 Laser Photoacoustic Spectroscopy - CO2LPAS
CATALOG NAME:
DESCRIPTION:
CO2 Laser Photoacoustic Spectroscopy - CO2LPAS Laser spectroscopy is a successful tool to detect specific gases with high sensitivity and fast time response. Optical detection techniques have to operate in the so-called "molecular fingerprint region", located in the near IR wavelength range between 9.2 and 10.8 μm of the CO2 laser. The CO2 LPAS system can detect various gases, such as ethylene with a minimum of 0.9 ppb to 100 ppm and this system offers many advantages: - the responsivity is independent of the wavelength of radiation; - immune to interference, high sensitivity; - real time analysis with quasi continuous measurements; - operational simplicity. CO2LPAS with applications in: Human health: The analysis of human breath for (early) diagnosis of diseases has certainly one of the highest potential impacts on public health and quality of life. In clinical medicine, breath testing is the least invasive of all diagnostic tests, presenting minimal risk and negligible discomfort to patients. Ethylene (C2H4) as indicator of lipid peroxidation in humans. Trace gas analysis of the breath composition gives information about various processes occurring inside the human body. One such process is lipid peroxidation in which free radicals induce oxidative degradation of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, causing cell damage and cell death. In normal situation, free radical formation and antioxidants are balanced.

Thin Film Laser Flash (TF-LFA)
CATALOG NAME:
Thin Film Laser Flash (TF-LFA)
DESCRIPTION:
The idea behind this technique is that once a material is heated up, the change in the reflectance of the surface can be utilized to derive the thermal properties. The reflectivity is measured with respect to time, and the data received can be matched to a model which contains coefficients that correspond to thermal properties. Features: Sample dimensions: Round with diameter of 10mm up to 20mmm, or in thin film form 80nm up to 200nm. Temperature range: RT up to 500°C. Heating and cooling rates: 0.01 up to 10°C/min. Atmosphere: inert, oxidizing or reducing.

THz-Time Domain Spectroscopy Kit
CATALOG NAME:
THz-TDS Kit
DESCRIPTION:
THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy Kit is a tool for investigate applications of pulsed terahertz waves. Terahertz radiation (THz) is a generic term for waves with a spectrum between 0.1 and 10 THz. Sometimes, the THz spectrum is defined as T-ray: especially in connection with imaging techniques. The frequency of 1 THz corresponds to a wavelength of 300 µm or 0.3 mm and to a wavenumber of 33 cm-1: THz fields have wavelengths extending from 3 mm (0,1 THz or 100 GHz) up to 30 µm (10 THz). This wavelength interval ranges between the top edge of the millimeter wave spectrum and the bottom edge of the optical spectrum, and corresponds to the boundary of the far-infrared (FIR) spectral region. Short THz pulses most often are used for Fourier absorption and reflection spectroscopy. The absorption spectra of many polar molecules, for example H2O; C, N2;O2; O3; HCl, CO, SO2; CH3CN; etc., have many, distinct spectral peaks in the THz range. These unique signatures of the molecules in the THz range is of highest importance in monitoring the surrounding medium, air pollution detection, gas sensing, drugs and explosives detection.
