FT-RAMAN Spectrometer
1. What is the specification of the LASER source used in your instrument?
λ = 1064nm
Pmax ≤ 0.5, 1.0W
Divergence Angle = 2 mrad
2. Is there any other LASER sources available at CSIF?
No! Currently, we have only 1064nm.
Thermo Gravimetric Analyser (TGA)
1. How much sample is required for TGA analysis?
5-8mg
2. What is the normally used heating rate in TGA analysis?
10-degree C/Min
3. Can we do TGA analysis of Liquid samples?
No! TGA analysis can only be performed on Powder or Film samples.
4. What is the maximum possible heating range of the TGA instrument available in CSIF?
The maximum temperature range of our instrument is 1000 Degree Celsius.
CHNS/O Analyser
1. How much sample is required for CHNS/O Analysis?
The minimum quantity is 2-3 mg, but we would suggest providing at least 10mg of sample. The remaining sample or left-over sample will be returned upon request.
2. Can we do CHNS/O analysis of Liquid samples?
No! The currently available facility at CSIF cannot analyse liquid samples.
X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF)
1. How much sample is required for XRF Analysis?
Powder: 5mg Liquid: 5 ml
2. What is the pellet size required for a solid sample?
20mm dia
3. Can we get the data in the ppm range?
Yes.
4. Can we get C, H, N element concentration using XRF analysis?
No! Instead you can use the CHNS analyser at CSIF
