Medium Range Facilities

Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer for the analysis of molecules and supramolecular complexes with ultra-high resolution for proteomics, structural proteomics and other omics sciences.

The testing platform represents a strategic asset for advanced materials development, providing an integrated, multifunction testing environment oriented toward tribological characterization. It enables multiscale evaluation of friction, wear, adhesion, and tribocorrosion on coatings and bulk materials. The modular architecture and high-frequency capabilities generate reliable, application-relevant data to support material design, performance optimization, and technology transfer…

Microplastics are considered emerging contaminants/pollutants (CECs, contaminants of emerging concern), and they are present in different environmental compartments (e.g., seawater, soil, atmosphere, etc.). Besides, plastic additives and non-plastic fibers (natural and artificial fibers) are also CECs. Therefore, it is fundamental to identify each particle unambiguously.

Extreme space weather due to the sun and its impact on the aging human body, biological and electronic systems. The new class of neutron compact monitor is registering a constant feed of neutron data in real-time produced by the extreme neutron space weather due to the Sun.

Multipurpose diffractometer for the collection of wide-angle (WAXS) and small-angle diffraction (SAXS) data on bulk materials, powders, thin films, epitaxial layers, in reflection, grazing incidence and transmission geometry, on flat samples or capillaries.

The NMR spectrometer is Bruker Avance III 600 MHz NMR, equipped with three probes suitable for the analysis of liquid, solid and heterogeneous samples.

PET/CT is a hybrid medical imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) with high resolution computed tomography (CT). It is equipped with silicon photomultipliers, an advanced digital technology that offers significant advantages in terms of sensitivity, time resolution and precision in localizing lesions. The instrument minimizes the required dose of radiopharmaceuticals and can be used…

Microscope inViaTM QontorTM model, with excitations at 532 and 785 nm, with motorized XYZ stage, flexible arm and Raman imaging techniquesx

RETINA provides non-destructive material analysis of various medium-sized samples via X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, and 2D/3D X-ray imaging techniques.

Xenocs XEUSS 3.0 system operates in SAXS (Small Angle X-ray Scattering), USAXS (Ultra SAXS) and GISAXS (Grazing Incidence SAXS) modes. It is equipped for measurements on powders, pastes, gels, liquids and films, temperature control and robot for automation of samples.
