On February 26, the 2023 Beijing Annual Conference of Electron Microscopy was successfully held in Beijing, hosted by the Electron Microscopy Professional Committee of the Beijing Physical and Chemical Analysis and Testing Technology Society. CIQTEK was invited to attend this conference to show the latest achievements of SEM, which received an enthusiastic response.   2022 Annual Beijing Electron Microscopy Conference Site   This conference aims to promote the academic and technical level of electron microscopy in Beijing and surrounding provinces and cities at large, to promote the application, development, and communication of electron microscopists in the fields of materials science and life science, etc. Many experts and scholars are invited to make advanced electron microscopy presentations.   In the report, the application expert of CIQTEK shared "the latest progress of Scanning Electron Microscope".   The SEM3300 is a new generation of tungsten filament scanning electron microscope with a resolution better than 2.5 nm and a special electronic circuit design that breaks through the resolution limit of tungsten filament and 5 nm at a low voltage of 1 kV. Excellent image quality, and high-resolution images can be obtained in different fields of view. Large depth of field for stereoscopic images. Extensive scalability to help you explore the world of microscopic imaging.     SEM5000 adopts advanced barrel design, high voltage tunneling technology (SuperTunnel), and low aberration non-leakage magnetic objective design, to achieve low-voltage high-resolution imaging, while magnetic samples can be applied. With optical navigation, perfect automatic functions, well-designed human-machine interaction, and optimized operation and use process, regardless of experience or not, you can quickly get started with high-resolution shooting tasks.   Currently, CIQTEK has launched three tungsten filament SEMs and two field emission SEMs.

In order to optimize environmental pollution and prevention, various cutting-edge technologies and advanced methods urgently need to be popularized and applied.Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR or ESR) spectroscopy is the only spectroscopic technique that can directly detect and study substances containing unpaired paramagnetic electrons and is widely used in chemical, industrial, life science, material science, and environmental fields, which plays an important role in achieving environmental pollutant management.   At the beginning of 2023, CIQTEK Paramagnetic College will hold a seminar on EPR and environmental pollutant detection from February 22-24, focusing on carbon neutrality and environmental protection. Experts will be invited to share the latest research progress and application results of EPR in water treatment, environmental persistent radical detection, photocatalysis, etc.    CIQTEK sincerely invites experts and scholars in related fields to attend the conference!         CIQTEK EPR (ESR) Spectroscopy    

Date: 2023.3.27 ~ 2023.3.30 Location: Leeds, England Website: http://www.esr-group.org/conferences/2023-conference-leeds/     The 56th Annual International Meeting of the Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC ESR Group) will be held 27th to 30th March 2023 in Leeds, England.      RSC ESR Group   The ESR Group was founded in 1968 as a forum within the Chemical Society for scientists to share, disseminate and promote knowledge about electron spin resonance. In 1980 the Chemical Society and the Royal Institute of Chemistry, together with the Faraday Society and the Society for Analytical Chemistry were amalgamated to become the Royal Society of Chemistry, so that it became a special interest group of the RSC. They are also affiliated to the European Federation of EPR Groups.   The main aim of the RSC ESR Group is to promote innovation, share and advance knowledge, and to encourage applications of electron spin resonance in chemistry, as well as in physical and biological sciences and their applications. These aims are achieved with the aid of an annual international meeting, often followed by publication of proceedings in peer-reviewed international journals.     CIQTEK Booth at RSC ESR Leeds Meeting 2023   CIQTEK will be hosted by our UK distributor SciMed. SciMed will offer UK based sales and service support for the range of EPR spectroscopy and work closely with the CIQTEK team to offer outstanding support to UK users.

CIQTEK is happy to sponsor the 12th Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Symposium (APES 2022) in Hangzhou, China during November 4-7, 2022. The symposium this year is an online event for international speakers and participants, a new start for Asia-Pacific EPR/ESR Society in the post-epidemic era.The main aims of APES 2022 are to bring together EPR/ESR spectroscopists and to promote and facilitate collaboration among the EPR/ESR community. APES 2022 is intended to stimulate discussions on the forefront of research in all aspects of EPR/ESR ranging from theoretical and experimental advances in CW/Pulsed EPR, high frequency, and high field EPR, ENDOR, PEDLOR/DEER, time-resolved EPR, FMR, MRI, ODMR to applications in medicine, biology, chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology. CIQTEK Moments at APES 2022Moment 1: On November 4th, CIQTEK had a presentation entitled "Introduction to EPR spectrometers of CIQTEK" by Dr. Zhifu Shi, Technical Director of EPR, CIQTEK.Moment 2: On November 6th, Dr. Haijun Yang, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, made a speech entitled "Construction and Applications of EPR at 6 K Ultra-low Temperature". In his speech, Dr. Yang mentioned that his team made research progress based on the CIQTEK X-band EPR spectrometer EPR100.Abstract of the Presentation:There were four main advantages of cryogenic technology in EPR research: (1) Improve the sensitivity of the spectrometer; (2) Increase the sample stability; (3) Weaken the effect of polar solvents on solution samples, and (4) Extend T1 and T2 relaxation for the better detection of spin echoes. Currently, the ultra-low temperature EPR is commonly performed by a liquid helium cooling system. Due to issues such as rising gas prices, cryogenic systems were expensive and difficult to run continuously for a long time. In collaboration with CIQTEK, a dry temperature-variable unit was constructed successfully with helium as the circulating gas. On the CIQTEK X-band EPR spectrometer (EPR100), this temperature-variable unit achieved a wide temperature range of 6 K to 300 K and afforded a long continuous operation time of more than 200 hours. The cost is less than five percent of the liquid helium cooling system. For the coal sample tested by the CW EPR, the double integration area of the EPR signal acquired at 6 K was nearly 42 times larger than that at 293 K. In addition, the following two applications have been proposed for the dry 6 K ultra-low temperature EPR technology. (1) For the diradicals, how to test the spin state from singlet and triplet? And how to calculate the energy gap of singlet−triplet (ΔEST)? (2) How to study the structure of Cu2+ complexes in solution using electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) pulse experiments? This novel dry temperature-variable unit prevents the consumption of helium due to closed circulation, saving the noble helium and reducing the cost of the EPR spectrometer’s operation, which propels researc...
