New rules
Dear
Lab users,
Please make an inventory of the occupied spaces with samples
and materials. Organize, sort and dispose according to lab rules
which you signed for.
Please update your list of chemicals and materials deposited in
various drawers and cabinets,
LIST THE CHEMICALS NAME WHICH YOU DEPOSIT IN FRIDGES OR
ELSEWHERE IN LAB SPACE . Provide a list dated and signed ON
THE FRONT DOOR TABLE.
Specify on list any biological material in use, date along
with the disposal pathway.
Term: Monday 5 Feb.

System upgrade
New Leica microscope installed.
A
mobile arm to measure Raman spectra of big objects with the
Renishaw Raman system has been installed. This is a unique
facility in the country.
About us
Research carried out in the Raman-SPM
laboratory covers a wide range of areas from physics, chemistry,
biochemistry, nanomedicine and materials science. In our projects,
Raman spectroscopy and AFM microscopy are used as advanced
characterization tools in nanoscience and biomedical research
projects.
The equipment available in the lab is a multilaser confocal Renishaw
InVia Reflex Raman
spectrometer coupled with the NT-MDT Ntegra Spectra SPM microscope.
The Raman-SPM instrument combines
high resolution AFM imaging capabilities with the structural
characterization of the sample down to single molecule level with
Raman spectroscopy. Both AFM and Raman spectroscopy methods are
non-invasive label-free approaches. The Raman-SPM equipment is
capable of measuring spectroscopic properties of a sample
simultaneously with the topographic image in the absence of labeling
or contrasting.
The system has been achieved using funding from Romanian National
Authority for Scientific Research, contract Integrated Network
For Interdisciplinary Researches (INIR), Sectorial Operational
Programme "Increase Of Economic Competitiveness". It was installed
in December 2012 and allows cutting edge research in a wide variety
of research fields, being automated for ease of use for both point
analysis and mapping. It is located within the main building of the
Babeş-Bolyai University.
The
experimental equipment of the Raman Lab is accessible to other
researchers in the Babes-Bolyai University, allowing them to carry
out state-of-the-art Raman spectroscopy and AFM microscopy as
additional tools in their research. Moreover, students for master
and PhD degrees are trained and can use the equipment independently
for their research needs. This way we serve a central goal of our
mission to educate the next generation of scientific and
technological leaders in biomolecular physics, nanoscience and
nanotechnology.
These facilities are used to provide services to government and
industry, as well.
