16 Thermoclave
The Thermoclave is a modern system for the curing of composite materials under a controlled (controllable) environment. The large internal working area is 1m in diameter and 3m in length with a maximum working temperature and pressure of 420°C and 20 bar respectively.
17 Pharmaceutical Processing Suite
This suite offers a selection of wet chemistry, chemical processing and analytical equipment, highly sought after in pharmaceutical development. From instrumented pharmaceutical dissolution units, powder and hot melt extrusion suites, to bench top and individual scale tablet presses, along with highly sensitive analytical instruments of FTIR, UV-Vis and multi-eye NIR these facilities offer an exceptional insight into the properties, characteristics and behaviour of pharmaceutical materials from synthesis, packing, tablet forming to dissolution.
18 Confocal Microscope
The confocal microscope looks inside the three-dimensional structure of living tissues. Fluorescent markers can hook onto specific sites in the tissue and be seen on the screen.
19 Porous Materials Characterisation Lab
20 Crystallisation Research Pilot
These (14, 20) are a unique equipment suite with dedicated units for crystallisation, isolation and drying of materials coupled with on-line monitoring facilities enabling the reproduction of batch and continuous process configurations, ideally suited for the pharmaceutical sector.
