The interface between semiconductor materials and metal electrodes plays a critical role in the performance of electronic devices. Surface morphology, chemical composition, and electronic structure at the interface directly impact key factors such as conductivity, stability, and overall device reliability. Therefore, comprehensive characterization of the semiconductor-metal interface is essential ...
Understanding the Role of Porosity in Bone Tissue Engineering 3D-printed bioactive bone scaffolds play a critical role in bone tissue engineering, where porosity is a key parameter that influences cell adhesion, proliferation, nutrient transport, and new bone formation. Both excessively high and low porosity levels can negatively impact the scaffold’s mechanical stability and biological perf...
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy remains an essential technique for studying paramagnetic species in chemistry, biology, materials science, and physics. Historically, EPR technology has been dominated by a few established manufacturers, most notably Bruker. Many researchers have relied on these legacy systems for decades, often because they were the only available option. However...
Many researchers rely on EPR spectrometers that have been running for years, sometimes even decades. These instruments are often still reliable for core measurements, but one part that tends to cause trouble over time is the variable temperature (VT) system. If your current VT accessory is no longer functioning or delivers unstable temperature control, you don’t necessarily need to replace t...
EPR spectrometers are crucial tools for many research labs, but upgrading them can feel like a big financial burden. The good news is that modernizing your EPR system doesn’t have to drain your budget. With CIQTEK EPR Spectrometer Modernization & Upgrade services, you can enhance your system’s performance while keeping costs low. Whether you're dealing with outdated temperature con...
Italy has long been a hub for innovation in materials science, nanotechnology, and cultural heritage preservation. Across the country’s universities and national research centers, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) plays a central role in analyzing microstructures and surface morphologies with high precision. In 2025, the demand for advanced SEM systems in Italy continues to rise, driven by ...
Understanding EPR Spectrometer Prices When planning an EPR spectrometer purchase, one of the most common questions is how much it costs. Prices vary depending on system type, sensitivity, temperature control, and automation. By understanding what factors influence cost, labs can make informed decisions for upgrades or new installations. Typical Price Ranges Benchtop and Compact EPR Systems ...
What Counts as an Entry-Level EPR Spectrometer?
