Customer success stories with Autolab
ESy-Labs , electrosynthesis of raw materials from waste
ESy-Labs, a Regensburg-based start-up in Germany, specializes in the electrosynthesis of raw materials derived from waste. The company scales up electrosynthetic processes from laboratory to industrially relevant levels using statistical approaches. To ensure precise comparison of potential electrode materials, ESy-Labs utilizes the PGSTAT204 from Metrohm Autolab.
“Metrohm is extremely reliable when it comes to equipment, and if you need accurate measurement data, there's really no way around it.”
Prof. Dr. Siegfried R. Waldvogel, CTO at ESy-Labs, Germany
“What we particularly like about the device is that we can use it flexibly in the lab and in the pilot plant station.”
Dr. Johannes Seidler, Project Manager at ESy-Labs, Germany
Swan-H, green electrochemical synthesis of ammonia
Swan-H, a start-up established in late 2021, is pioneering a novel electrochemical approach that enables ammonia synthesis at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. In collaboration with the University of Toulouse and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the company has developed a patented nitrogen activation process that functions without the need for high-temperature or high-pressure reactors. Rather than forcing nitrogen to split under extreme conditions, Swan-H’s method employs carefully designed radicals that react stepwise with nitrogen molecules, drastically reducing energy requirements.
A prototype of the Swan-H green ammonia reactor consists of a two-compartment glass cell separated by a glass frit, with the reaction rate controlled by the VIONIC system powered by INTELLO.
“The INTELLO interface is very handy to use and is a pretty powerful software…”
Dr. Dancheng Legrand, Laboratory Manager at Swan-H
“The team also valued the untethering feature of INTELLO because they can release their computers from VIONIC during several hours of measurements and reconnect them for data recovery instead of dedicating full resources to the experiment.”
Dr. Nicolas Mézailles, Founder and Research Director at Swan-H
University of Warwick
Watch these two interviews with Prof. Julie Macpherson’s research group at the University of Warwick, where they share how they use different Metrohm Autolab electrochemical workstations in their lab to support a wide range of experiments, research projects, and PhD studies!
Ruđer Bošković Institute
“Our lab has been using Metrohm Autolab instrumentation for nearly 30 years, and it still runs perfectly, producing nice results.”
Prof. Irena Ciglenečki-Jušić, Ruđer Bošković Institute, Croatia
