Vacuum Oven
This page describes the sample preparation laboratory in sector 7 (P10-PLab). The main purpose of this lab is to enable basic sample preparation tasks close to the experimental hutches. This lab is not a full chemistry lab. The experimental safety declaration form (DOOR) must be used if access to a fully equipped chemical lab is needed.
The PLab is equipped with 1) a vacuum oven, 2) a centrifuge, 3) two balances, 4) a light microscope including a CCD camera, 5) an ultra-sonic bath, 6) a heat plate with magnetic stirring functionality, 7) a vortex mixer and 8) a fume hood.
The use of chemicals in the PLab is limited to the chemicals in the following list.
