Andino Group Lab Equipment

The Andino Group, based at ASU’s Tempe campus Engineering Center, provides full access to state-of-the-art instruments for research students. Below are some of the major analytical instruments/systems available:

Gas Chromatograph

Gas Chromatograph (FID)

Used with a flame ionization detector for analyzing volatile compounds.

FTIR

FTIR Spectrometer

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer for detecting chemical bonds in samples.

SMPS

Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer

Measures particle size distributions in aerosols.

Flow Reactors

Flow Reactor Systems

Two systems of varying sizes for chemical reactions under flow conditions.

Ozone Analyzer

Ozone Analyzers

Measures ozone levels with high sensitivity and accuracy.

NOx Analyzer

NOx Analyzers

Measures nitrogen oxide levels in atmospheric samples.

Zero Air Generator

Zero Air Generators

Provides ultra-pure air for calibration and testing.

Hydrogen Generator

Hydrogen Generators

Produces hydrogen gas on-demand for industrial and laboratory use.

High Grade Water Purification System

High Grade Water Purification System

Removes contaminants to provide ultrapure water for sensitive applications.

Gas Generator

Gas Generator

Generates on-site gases like nitrogen or oxygen for industrial use.

These instruments, combined with standard laboratory items (flow meters, calibration devices, etc) and numerous computer systems are available to students that are actively conducting research within the Andino group. Full training is provided to students on the proper use of instruments.
