Instrumentation

Our Laboratories

The department of chemistry "Giacomo Ciamician" in located in via Piero Gobetti, 85 (40129) Bologna (BO). The laboratories are six divided in thematics and research field. Two of them are dedicated to organic, ultra-high vacuum and not-organic preparations then, ECL, catalysis, electrochemical characterization (potentiostat) and electrochemical in situ techniques (AFM, SECM). The following pictures reports the instrumentation we own.
