Macromolecular characterization
We have more than 50 years of know how in the analysis of the molecular composition of bio-or synthetic polymers.
From investigating air-sensitive catalyst samples to analyzing their performance in-operando, our capability in catalyst characterization is built on unrivalled experience and expertise.
In catalyst characterization we bring customers far more than basic experience in active site distributions or deactivation processes. This gives us a deep understanding of the characterization of (bio)catalysts in small molecule and polymer synthesis.
Just one way that our catalyst characterization capabilities have helped customers:
Morphology covers our ability to characterize the spatial assemblies of molecules. It answers the universal question: “What does the surface or interface of my product look like?" Combining the competences with data analysis & statistics and process analytics creates the unique capability to fully characterize a catalyst in its context.
Our unique combination of competences in morphology, process analytics and data analysis & statistics drives our work in catalyst characterization.
