GENERAL INFORMATION

BOOK ONLINE

Name of infrastructure: Agora3.0

Hosting Entity

German Oncology Center (Linac- Pet Scan Opco LTD)

Scientific Domain: Bio-Informatics Facilities

Description and purpose of the Research Infrastructure

The Agora 3.0 infrastructure creates a training, validation and implementation environment for innovative technology and software solutions that brings value to healthcare delivery. The proposal is not a typical attempt to introduce a single new piece of equipment in a laboratory setting, but rather the acquisition of both hardware and software to establish the foundations of a futuristic, sustainable, and inclusive Health Technology and Data Hub.

FERGIE Integrated Spectrograph for Raman measurements

Name: FERGIE Integrated Spectrograph for Raman measurements
Description: An integrated spectrograph equipped with a CCD camera that can be modified for use in absorption, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy. The current setup only allows for Raman spectroscopy with excitation at 785 nm through a fiberoptic for the measurement of either solution samples, using the cube system or a Raman probe for solid state samples. Includes a built-in time-generator for time-resolved measurements
Units: 1
Hosting Laboratory / Department: Chemistry Department Labs

Brief description of the utilization of the instrument:

The instrument is used for the collection of Raman spectra from a variety of samples, either in the solution or the solid state, providing structural and compositional information. It can also be used for monitoring structural changes as a function of time, with microsecond resolution
