This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

…or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

  • Applications
  • The origination of the idea of variable compression ratio was the desire to use it for the engine supplying fuels with different properties; it is the so-called flex-fuel Capability.
  • The development of VCR technology says something about the potential for reducing fuel consumption.
  • The VCR technology enables a significant extension of the “downsizing” range, allowing further reduction of the displacement volume and the use of even higher boosting pressures. It is estimated that this method of adjusting the working parameters of the spark-ignition engine can result in a reduction in the fuel consumption by up to 30% without a significant increase of toxic exhaust compound emission.
  • VCR technology is the possibility of effective implementation of advanced, low-temperature LTC combustion processes (low-temperature combustion). They are characterized by extremely low emission levels of toxic compounds as a result of high complementarily of the combustion phase but conducted under conditions with reduced charge temperature.

    Maximum deposition area: 1 cm x 1 cm
    Target size : 1 inch
    Targets : 6
    Substrate temperature : 800 °C

  • Applications
  • Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a PVD technique used to deposit thinfilms of various materials. The PLD process involves directing a high-energy laser beam onto a target, which ablates the atoms of the target material. The ablated particles form vaporised plasma and are then deposited on the substrate.
  • A key advantage of PLD is that it yields high-quality stoichiometric thinfilms. It is a versatile technique for depositing multicomponent materials like complex oxides, nitrides, etc. It also allows precise control of the thickness of the film, especially when equipped with in situ units like RHEED.
  • PLD-deposited films have broad applications in semiconductors, memory Devices, spintronics, sensors, solar cells, superconductors, etc.

Fluorescence Spectroscopy
ID: 2388
School of Bio Sciences & Technology (SBST)

Make: Agilent

Model: Cary Eclipse


  • Capabilities
  1. Excitation:
    A light source, often ultraviolet light, is directed at the sample.
  2. Excitation State:
    Molecules in the sample absorb photons of light and enter a higher energy “excited state”.
  3. Emission:
    As the excited molecules return to their ground state, they release the absorbed energy by emitting a photon of light. This emitted light is the fluorescence.
  4. Detection:
    A fluorescence detector (a type of spectrofluorometer) measures the intensity and wavelengths of the emitted light.
  5. Spectra:
    The data collected can be plotted as:
    • Fluorescence Emission Spectrum: Shows the intensity of emitted light at different wavelengths for a fixed excitation wavelength.
    • Fluorescence Excitation Spectrum: Shows fluorescence intensity at a specific emission wavelength across a range of excitation wavelengths.
    • Excitation-Emission Matrix (EEM): A 2D plot of fluorescence intensity as a function of both excitation and emission wavelengths.

  • Applications
  • Pharmaceuticals: Quality control and analysis of drugs.
  • Biochemistry: Studying biological molecules and their environments.

REAL-TIME PCR
ID: 2376
School of Bio Sciences & Technology (SBST)

Make: Bio Rad

Model: CFX Opus


  • Applications

Medical and Diagnostic Applications
Infection Diagnosis: RT-PCR is a primary tool for detecting viral infections, such as COVID-19, influenza, HIV, and Hepatitis C, by identifying the viral RNA in patient samples. Cancer Monitoring: It helps track cancer progression and treatment response by measuring changes in gene expression levels in tumors. Genetic Disorder Screening: The technique can detect specific genetic mutations associated with certain inherited conditions, such as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Biological Research Applications
Gene Expression Profiling: RT-PCR allows for the precise quantification of gene expression levels to study gene function and cellular processes. RNA Interference (RNAi) Validation: Researchers use it to confirm that target genes have been effectively “knocked down” in RNAi experiments. Cloning and DNA Manipulation: The process generates complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA, which can then be cloned and used in further molecular biology studies.

Food Safety and Environmental Monitoring
Pathogen Detection: In food and environmental testing, RT-PCR rapidly detects bacterial and viral pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli in food, water, and soil samples. GMO Detection: It is used to identify the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products. Ingredient Authentication: RT-PCR can also confirm the presence or absence of specific ingredients, such as pork in halal or kosher foods.

  3. Agitation / mixing A stirrer (top‑driven shaft, possibly bottom‑driven or magnetically sealed depending on model) to maintain homogeneity, ensure oxygen transfer, suspend cells if needed.
  4. Automated control & software A controller (could be PLC or dedicated bioreactor controller) for setting setpoints, alarms, logging
  5. Cleanability and aseptic design Features for CIP (Cleaning In Place) and sterilization: smooth surfaces, minimal “dead volumes”, properly sealed seals, ports for cleaning, possibly splash plates, etc.
  6. Safety features Pressure relief or venting, safety interlocks, explosion/vacuum protection if the design calls for it (depending on anaerobic/aerobic process), temperature overshoot protection.
  7. Flexibility of culture mode Ability to run batch and fed‑batch fermentation

Concrete Surface Resistivity Meter
ID: 1949
School of Civil Engineering (SCE)

Make: Proceq

Model: Profometer 600


  • Capabilities

By measuring concrete resistivity, the Resipod provides insights for a variety of critical applications:

  • Corrosion assessment: The measurement is directly linked to the likelihood and rate of corrosion in reinforcing steel.
  • Chloride permeability: Resistivity is directly correlated with a concrete structure’s resistance to chloride ion penetration, which is a major cause of corrosion.
  • Moisture content: The device can identify wet and dry areas in a concrete structure, as resistivity is influenced by moisture.
  • Quality control: It can assess the efficiency of concrete curing and identify variations in the water-to-cement ratio.
  • Cathodic protection: The data helps determine zonal requirements for cathodic protection systems.

  • Applications
  • Chloride permeability: Resistivity is directly correlated with a concrete structure’s resistance to chloride ion penetration, which is a major cause of corrosion.
  • Corrosion assessment: To measure the corrosion potential directly and rate of corrosion in the reinforcing steel.
