The CIQTEK Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer is an experimental platform based on NV center spin magnetic resonance. By controlling basic physical quantities such as optics, electricity, and magnetism, it implements manipulation and readout of NV center in diamond. Compared with traditional paramagnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance, it has the unique advantages of single-spin sensitivity and nanoscale spatial resolution.

CIQTEK Application Center staff working with QDAFM for testing and analysis

The CIQTEK Scanning NV Microscope (SNVM) is a magnetic imaging instrument based on both NV center in diamond and AFM scanning imaging technology. By control and readout of the spin state in the diamond probe, the magnetic property of samples is acquired quantitatively and non-invasively. With nanoscale spatial resolution and ultra-high detection sensitivity, QDAFM is an innovative technology to develop and study magnetic textures, high-density magnetic storage, and spintronics.

CIQTEK Application Center staff working with SEM5000 for testing and analysis

CIQTEK Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Application Lab based on tungsten filament SEM3100 and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope SEM5000 has served more than 160 customers in the industries of lithium battery, chip semiconductor, ceramics, construction materials, electronic components, chemicals, biomedical, environmental protection, metallic materials, etc. The total number of samples measured is nearly 1,000 and nearly 10,000 high-quality electron micrographs were issued. With CIQTEK SEM's high resolution, large field of view, large depth of field, optical navigation, and perfect automatic functions, customers can quickly obtain high-quality sample electron microscopy images.

CIQTEK Specific Surface & Pore Size Analyzer

CIQTEK Application Center's specific surface & pore size analyzer, specific surface area tester, and true density tester have completed more than 130 measurements for nearly 30 customers in various industries, including carbon materials, photocatalysis, battery capacitance, and catalytic materials, helping customers achieve high-quality journal article publication and product testing.

In the past year since the CIQTEK Application Center was opened, it has provided powerful support for the production and development of high-end scientific instruments and the application and transformation of scientific research results. With the wave of technology industrialization, CIQTEK has created several scientific instruments that drive the progress of the industry with its continuous breakthroughs in core technology and excellent product engineering capabilities.

In the future, CIQTEK Application Center will continue to take precision measurements as the core technology, induct more advanced high-end scientific instruments, and help customers promote the development of technology and explore the future of mankind with the attitude of innovation and win-win cooperation.
