-ATR can be used f

or solid, liquid, a
nd gas samples. Most compounds
containing carbon

and hydrogen can be identified as well as energetic materials and common household products. Particle Size Analyzer (PSA): The PSA measures the particles in a sample and displays the range of sizes present from 4 microns to 2000 microns. Particle size is often important in the control of industrial mixing, product preparation, and quality control and quality assurance for production facilities. Laser Cutting Work Station (LCWS): The LCWS is a cutting facility with a femtoseco

nd pulse. Because the pulses are so fast there is no heat created and therefore highly energetic materials can be cut and shaped without detonation occurring. The EMRTC Chemistry Laboratories contain other

small equipment necessary for sample preparation, chemical synthesis of inorganic and organic materials, and small scale testing of samples (Torres Laboratories). Other equipment available: 100 kV JEOL and Phillips 430 300 kV transmission electron microscope (TEM) JEOL 6100 with EDS and Cambridge scanning electron microscope (SEM) Flame Atomic Absorption spectroscopy X-ray Fluorescence X-ray Diffraction Inductively Coupled Plasma
