COUPLED MULTISPECTROSCOPY SINGULAR LABORATORY (Raman-LASPEA)

Areas of application

RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

The infrastructure available in the Singular Coupled Multispectroscopy Laboratory (Raman-LASPEA) allows testing in several scientific and technical areas. In principle, any covalent material is capable of being analyzed by Raman and FTIR. The following are some of the areas of application

  1. Earth Sciences (Geochemistry)
    Characterization of rocks and mineral phases (defects, inclusions, etc..)
    Gemstone Identification
    Sludge Study
  2. Fine Arts and Humanities
    Characterization of pigments and binders in works of art (paintings, sculptures, etc.)
    Study of stratigraphic
  3. Materials Science
    Analysis of new polymers
    Inorganic compound with special properties
    Study of the structure and functionalisation of nanoparticles
  4. Engineering and Environment
    Pollution sources and mechanisms
    Process and chemical reactions monitoring
    Characterization and development of catalysts
  5. Prehistory and Ancient History
    Studies of source and processing techniques of archaeological materials.
    Corrosion of metal objects (coins, weapons, etc..)
    Fossils
    Glass and ceramics (enamels, pigments, etc.)
    Biomaterials (bones, ivory, amber, etc.)
  6. Biomedicine
    Study of cancer cells
    Identification of kidney stones
    Characterization of atherosclerotic plaques
  7. Pharmaceutical Analysis
    Identification of active ingredients and excipients in several formulations
    Polymorphism Studies

USERS

The Singular Coupled Multispectroscopy Laboratory (LASPEA) aims to service the widest possible range of users, both internal and external, and developing all kinds of applications. Thanks to the existing infrastructure, it is possible to design custom analysis, making it possible to serve a greater number of researchers.

RESULTS

Analyses were carried out as part of investigations of several Doctoral Theses, Dissertations, Bachelor Theses and Master Thesis in the University of the Basque Country, as well as studies conducted by professors from the same university in the framework of research projects. The results have been sent to various scientific meetings and / or published in international journals.
