Immagine Location typology: Research laboratories Address: Via Dunant 3,Varese City: Varese University seat: Campus Bizzozero Contenuto location The analytical chemistry laboratory is equipped with various instruments that enable different types of analysis to be carried out on organic and inorganic molecules. The equipment Instrument: Atomic Absorption Analysis: Determination of trace metals in various matrices Person in charge: Veronica PrinaInstrument: HPLC (UV–Vis detector) Analysis: Analysis of mixtures of organic substances (with absorption in the ultraviolet or visible range) Persons in charge: Enrico Caruso, Veronica PrinaInstrument: GC-MS (Gas chromatograph with mass spectrometer as detector) Analysis: Analysis of low-molecular-weight organic compounds Persons in charge: Veronica Prina, Enrico CarusoInstrument: UV–Vis Spectrophotometer (Ultraviolet–Visible) Analysis: Analysis of organic substances (determination of their concentration) Persons in charge: Enrico Caruso, Veronica PrinaInstrument: Spin Coater Analysis: Deposition of polymeric films for the study of surface properties Person in charge: Lorella Izzo Technical contactsFor FT-IR, please contact: Dr Enrico CarusoFor the use of the spin coater, please contact: Prof. Lorella IzzoFor all other instruments, the technical contact is: Dr Veronica PrinaHead Prof. Lorella Izzo Access procedures and opening hours Access to these instruments is granted primarily to:staff of the Department of Biotechnology and Life Sciences - DBSVauthorised students (bachelor's and master's degree thesis students) after adequate trainingAccess is also granted to staff from other departments who are familiar with the use of the instruments in question.The availability of the instruments will depend on any analyses in progress and the time of use requested by the applicant. Access is normally granted on a daily basis for FT-IR and UV-vis, while for HPLC, A.A. and GC-MS it may be necessary to wait a few days.
