Chemistry Lab

The Chemistry Laboratory is part of the Support infrastructure available to Scientists when they come for beamtime or experiments. Enquiries as to its use should be sent beforehand to the beamline scientist and the Chemistry Laboratory personnel to optimize and prepare for the planned experiments.

In line with the changes concerning Safety at KIT and the new Database for Chemical and Hazardous substances (ChemA) the section for the Institute has been split into different groups representing the various Laboratories and infrastructure at the KIT Synchrotron. The Chemistry Laboratory has a separate computer specifically for access to ChemA and other additional Safety documentation available on the Internet such as the Material Safety Data Sheets from the company sites and other sources.

The Laboratory is situated in the KIT Synchrotron hall with direct access to the beamlines. It has a diverse range of equipment, such as rough and precision balances, a hydrolic laboratory press, low and high temperature ovens, a coolable centrifuge  and other ancillary equipment.

Experiments which involve complicated setups and/or preparations are possible but need to be clarified beforehand with the responsible People (Beamline Scientist, Contact Person of the Chemistry Laboratory) in order to check and facilitate usage. Safety is also another important aspect that has to be checked in advance with the responsible people.
