X-band Benchtop Electron Paramagnetic Resonance or Electron Spin Resonance (EPR, ESR) Spectrometer
The CIQTEK EPR200M is a newly designed benchtop EPR spectroscopy specializing in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of free radicals, special valence transition metal ions, and material doping and defects. It is an excellent research tool for real-time monitoring of chemical reactions, in-depth evaluation of material properties, and exploration of pollutant degradation mechanisms in environmental science.
The EPR200M adopts a compact design and highly integrates the microwave source, magnetic field, probe, and main controller, ensuring sensitivity and stability while being compatible with diverse experimental needs. The user-friendly interface allows even first-time users to start quickly, making this advanced instrument truly easy to use.

Application of EPR in Free Radical Detection
Free radicals are atoms or groups with unpaired electrons formed when covalent bonds are broken due to external factors such as light or heat. For relatively stable free radicals, EPR can detect them directly and quickly. For short-lived free radicals, they can be detected by spin trapping. For example, hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, singlet oxygen photoradicals, and other free radicals generated by photocatalytic processes.
EPR in Vacancy Research
Vacancy is a concept in solid-state structural chemistry or materials science, that refers to the structure of the lattice lattice without due atoms. Common vacancies include oxygen vacancies, carbon vacancies, nitrogen vacancies, and sulfur vacancies.
EPR in Paramagnetic Metal lons Research
For transition metal ions (including iron, palladium, and platinum group ions with unfilled 3d, 4d, and 5d respectively) and rare earth metal ions (with unfilled 4f shell), these paramagnetic metal ions can be detected by EPR spectrometer due to the presence of the single electrons in their atomic orbitals, thus obtaining the valence and structure information.
EPR ProCt. is the control software for operating all CIQTEK EPR spectrometers. The interface and utilities are tailored for both new and experienced users to efficiently set up experiments. While EPR ProCt. contains basic data processing tools, it allows data files to be transferred to the data processing software EPR ProPr. with a single click.
EPR ProPr. processes EPR spectra and time-domain data independently of the control software. It can be installed on any laptop and provides easy access and a toolbox to suit every need.
Precise temperature control from low to high temperatures
Temperature change directly affects electron spins' state and dynamical behavior, so the temperature control technique is crucial for EPR research. Different temperature ranges can reveal different physical, chemical, and biological processes, providing researchers with a deeper understanding of the nature of substances and reaction mechanisms.
EPR200M can be equipped with a liquid nitrogen VT system, which realizes precise temperature control from the liquid nitrogen temperature zone (100 K) to the high-temperature zone (600 K).
Full ranges of in-situ irradiation systems with automatic optical filter switching
The in-situ irradiation system effectively supports the EPR applications in photocatalysis research. The system flexibly supports in-situ and non-in-situ irradiation experiments and can be equipped with three different light sources to meet diversified research needs. The 6-position motorized optical filter switching system realizes the automatic switching of filters, which greatly improves the experimental efficiency and brings unprecedented convenience for photocatalytic research.
360° goniometer for EPR studies in orientation-dependent substances
The goniometer achieves automatic and precise control from 0° to 360°, providing powerful technical support in orientation-dependent substances research and research of crystalline materials, diamonds, and jewelry.
