YUMI

YUMI ABB Collaborative Robotic Equipment This equipment consists of a dual-arm YUMI cobot integrated into an industrial robotics room (industrial robots, conveyors, cameras, process simulator). This cobot is safe to use in environments in which it is in close proximity…

HR-ICP-MS

High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) HR-ICP-MS is an elemental analysis technique used to identify and quantify trace elements, including most transition metals and heavy metals in liquid solutions, which sometimes requires microwave mineralisation, at concentrations below ppt…

Optical measurement techniques

The ESCP team’s ALHEX and CFF platforms have access to equipment that allows them to determine the precise and detailed physical values of gas and liquid flows using point measurements (LDA 2D) and implement non-intrusive plane measurement techniques with high…

EFUSOL

Experimentation on FUsion/SOLidiﬁcation phenomena of phase-change materials for thermal energy storage (EFUSOL) The EFUSOL test bench is an experimental facility used to analyse fusion-solidification phenomena of phase-change materials in different geometric configurations both locally and globally. It can be used…

PTR-ToFMS

Proton Transfer Reaction Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToFMS) The PTR-ToFMS technique is used to measure trace gaseous species in the atmosphere, including volatile organic compounds. Ambient air is continuously sampled in a low pressure reactor (a few millibars) which…
