Dr. McIndoe’s group at the University of Victoria use an LC Tech Glovebox combined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometers for the making and discovery of new catalysts.
IFW Dr
esden’s Institute for Integrative Nanosciences use their argon filled LC Technology glovebox for molecular beam expitaxy by directly connecting it to the MBE transfer-line backbone. Samples can be prepared in various ways inside the glovebox (including etching, resist stripping, etc) and transferred directly into the MBE chambers.

CINS, the Center for Integrative Nanotechnology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock uses an LC Technology glovebox to develop thin films for solar cell applications. For more on #UALR’s research visit: http://ualr.edu/nanotechnology-4tlog/research/photovoltaics
Chemistry Labs in Chernoff Hall
Students work with LC Technology gloveboxes at the IPEM (Initiative for Photonic and Electronic Materials) chemistry laboratory at Queens University in Ontario, Canada. The system was designed for characterization and preparation of new materials used in electronic and photonic devices such as blue light emitting devices and ferroelectric liquid crystal materials.

The chemistr
y department at SUNY Geneseo has a very nice glovebox training video posted on their web site. To view the video and learn more about their lab’s research, visit: http://www.geneseo.edu/chemistry/glove-box-video
The US Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory studies the role of ionic liquids to recover rare earths and other critical materials for recycling and reuse. Included in their list of laboratory equipment is an LC Technology’s solvent purification system. This particular system is set up to purify seven different types of solvents.

Associate Director Matt Law’s new glovebox connected to the Kratos AXIS Supra X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometer and scanning Auger microscope (XPS/UPS/SAM) at the Irvine Materials Research Institute (IMRI) at the University of California at Irvine. The XPS is the first Supra in the Americas. To learn more about LEXI, IMRI’s Laboratory for Electron and X-ray Instrumentation visit http://lexi.eng.uci.edu
EBTEC, pioneers of non-contact, high energy beam technologies recently received a new custom titanium welding chamber. For more about their cutting edge technologies visit ebteccorp.com/about.html.
We enjoyed meeting a lot of new faces at the MIT Post Doc Vendor Fair this week. For more information on the fair visit http://pda.mit.edu/vendor-fair/.
Dr. Gu’s research group at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville explores “Flatland” using an LC Technology glovebox for 2D (two-dimensional) materials research. Click here to learn more about Dr. Gu’s research.
