CIQTEK, a global leader in precision measurement and advanced scientific instrumentation, announces that its EPR product line has reached a significant milestone: the 300th global delivery. The landmark 300th unit — a CIQTEK EPR300 Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer — has been officially delivered to Vanderbilt University in the United States, underscoring the growing global adoption of CIQTEK's EPR technology.   CIQTEK EPR Team at the EPR300 Installation Site   Inside Vanderbilt University — CIQTEK's EPR Technology Supports Advanced Research Founded in 1873 and located in Nashville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt University is a world-renowned private research university recognized for its strong academic and research excellence in chemistry, materials science, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology. The research group receiving the EPR300 — the 300th unit in the CIQTEK EPR series — is dedicated to cutting-edge investigations in bioinorganic chemistry and advanced molecular materials, demanding the highest standards in electron paramagnetic resonance technology. With its superior sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, the CIQTEK EPR300 provides the critical data foundation that drives the group’s advanced research forward. Performance That Speaks for Itself — Client Proactively Publishes Delivery News Following installation and commissioning, the EPR300's outstanding spectral quality and the professionalism of CIQTEK's engineering team exceeded the client’s expectations. The research group published a dedicated news article on its official platform, celebrating the installation and offering high praise for the EPR spectrometer. “The performance of the EPR300 has been truly impressive,” said Assistant Professor Mengshan Ye, a lead researcher in the group. “And the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by the installation engineers have given our entire team tremendous confidence.”   X-Band Continuous-Wave Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer The EPR300 leverages a state-of-the-art microwave system and ultra-high-performance signal processing unit to push detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio to unprecedented levels. Capable of precisely capturing and analyzing unpaired electron signals at extremely low spin concentrations, the EPR300 opens new methodological pathways for studying low-concentration free radicals and investigating the deep-level physical and chemical properties of metal ions and other microscopic systems. In addition, the EPR300 supports the upgrade to Q-band operation, enabling higher g-value resolution critical for detecting anisotropic samples. From life sciences and materials science to chemistry and physics, the EPR300 lays a robust experimental foundation for frontier research across multiple disciplines — empowering scientists to reach new milestones of discovery.   300 Deliveries and Counting ...

CIQTEK recently wrapped up an intensive two-day training program at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). By combining deep-dive theory with hands-on practice, our team helped nearly 60 researchers move beyond just "using" electron microscopes to truly mastering them for advanced semiconductor research.   Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Discovery At CIQTEK, we believe that high-end scientific instruments are only as powerful as the hands that operate them. Recently, our Customer Success team visited the Integrated Circuit Experiment Center at USTC. Our mission was simple: to take the complexity out of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and provide researchers with the practical skills they need to push the boundaries of micro-scale observation. This "Service-First" initiative brought together about 60 students and faculty members for a deep dive into the world of precision microscopy.   Moving from Theory to Mastery A great experiment starts with a solid understanding of the "why" behind the "how." The training was structured into a dual-track model: comprehensive theory followed by intensive group practice. In the classroom, our Customer Success Manager, Zhang Jing, broke down complex concepts into easy-to-digest insights. The sessions covered everything from the basic physics of electron beams to advanced parameter optimization. Specifically, we focused on: The Fundamentals: How SEM works and its core functional applications. Optimization: Tweaking key parameters to get the sharpest possible data. Semiconductor Focus: Specific characterization techniques tailored for integrated circuit research. By simplifying the "hardcore" technical knowledge, we ensured every participant had a rock-solid foundation before they ever touched the equipment.     Hands-on Teaching with a Human Touch The real magic happened during the practical sessions. We know that reading a manual is never the same as actually running a scan. That is why our team moved into the lab for "shoulder-to-shoulder" teaching. During the small-group workshops, we guided participants through the entire workflow: Sample Preparation: The crucial first step for any successful scan. Machine Operation: Getting comfortable with the CIQTEK hardware interface. Image Analysis: Learning how to interpret what you are seeing. Troubleshooting: Identifying and fixing common issues on the fly. This one-on-one approach meant we could correct mistakes in real-time and answer specific questions as they popped up. The result? A noticeable jump in operating efficiency and a lot of happy researchers who now feel confident working with our instruments.       A Full-Cycle Commitment to Your Research CIQTEK’s roots are in the academic world, and we feel a deep responsibility to give back to the scientific community. Our philosophy is built on "Achieving Customer Success." For us, the relationship does not end when an instrument is delivered; t...

The energy was intense. The snow was flying. The crowd was electric. As part of our Winter Olympics 2026 story, CIQTEK invited our Italian partner Media System Lab to attend the competition at Livigno Snow Park as our special on-site representative. They were there in person. Right at the venue. Capturing the atmosphere, the emotion, and the unforgettable moments from the 2026 Winter Olympics. It was powerful. And it reminded us why the Olympic spirit matters far beyond sports.     When Science Meets the Olympic Spirit At CIQTEK, we develop advanced scientific instruments, including SEM, NMR, EPR, BET systems, etc. Our work supports researchers who spend years chasing answers that most people never see. Scientific progress is not instant. It takes patience. It takes resilience. It takes the willingness to refine and improve again and again. That is why the scientific spirit aligns so naturally with the Olympic spirit. Both are about: Relentless improvement Long-term commitment Precision and control Teamwork across borders At Livigno Snow Park, our partner Media System Lab witnessed elite athletes pushing their physical limits. Back in laboratories around the world, scientists push technological and intellectual limits every day. Different fields. Same mindset.     CIQTEK and Media System Lab: Partnership in Action Global innovation depends on trusted partnerships. CIQTEK's collaboration with Media System Lab reflects our belief that strong local partners create a stronger global impact. While athletes represent their nations on the slopes, our partners represent shared values in science and technology. Together, we build something bigger than any single company.       Why This Moment Matters for CIQTEK Being part of the Winter Olympics 2026 story through Livigno Snow Park is meaningful for us. It represents connection. Connection between science and sport.Connection between Italy and the global research community.Connection between ambition and achievement. The athletes compete for gold.Scientists compete against the unknown. Both inspire us to aim higher.   The competitions will end. The medals will be awarded. The crowds will go home. But the spirit continues. At CIQTEK, we carry that energy forward. Into our labs. Into our engineering teams. Into every collaboration around the world. Because excellence is not a moment. It is a mindset.   A group photo of the CIQTEK mascot, Matteo from the MS lab, and the Winter Olympics mascot
