  • Bio-logic 16-channel VMP-3 multi-channel potentiostat/electrochemical impedance spectrometer with 
    • 8 potentiostat channels, and 
    • 8 complex impedance spectrometer/potentiostat channels.
  • Nova 2000 BET surface area and pore size  analysis system (dual sample configuration)
  • Tenny environmental chamber good to -60 ˚C to >200˚C
  • Multiple vacuum ovens
  • Multiple furnaces, box and tube
