Nano instrument

The facility houses a state-of-the-art cryo imaging suite for bio relevant materials, including cryo-transmission electron microscope (TEM), cryo-scanning electron microscope (SEM/FIB) with focused ion beam milling for 3D reconstruction, freeze fracture, freeze substitution, high pressure freezer, and an atomic force microscope (AFM). Instrumentation for material characterization includes high throughput particle sizing (DLS) and counting (Spectradyne), HPLC, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and a rheometer.
