Equipment
Our labs in ABB 359/360/360A are well-equipped with a full range of equipment for the synthesis, characterization, and application screening of hydrogels on all length scales. We are particularly well-equipped and skilled to perform comprehensive analysis of nanoparticle size and stability as well as hydrogel mechanical properties in all shear configurations on all length scales.
Inquiries regarding equipment use or contract research are welcomed - please contact Dr. Hoare.
