Applications Laboratory

Hiden Isochema offers a range of services including contract analysis and consultancy

Hiden Isochema has a purpose built applications laboratory and offers a range of services including contract analysis, group and bespoke training courses and consultancy.

Several sets of data measured in the Hiden Isochema applications laboratory have gone on to feature in the peer reviewed press, including in top tier journals such as Nature.

The laboratory offers our customers unrivaled application support and full access to our knowledge base and instruments. The laboratory houses a suite of instruments and is staffed by an experienced applications team of Ph.D. scientists with a variety of backgrounds including sorption science, surface science, and thermodynamics.

The experimental techniques on offer include; gas sorption, vapor sorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD).
