Silver Sponsors

We greatly appreciated the support shown to our Workshop by the following companies:

AS-logo
'AS Scientific Products Ltd. is one of the world's major suppliers of high specification, low temperature engineering equipment. For us no project is too large or too small.'
Hiden_Isochema-logo
'Hiden lsochema is a world leader in the design and manufacture of sorption instruments. We offer a range offully automated gravimetric and manometric instruments for determining the equilibria and kinetics of gas and vapour sorption by liquids and materials. In addition to our standard products, we have also supplied a number of sorption systems to neutron sources for the delivery of both gases and vapours to sample cells for in-situ neutron scattering experiments. These systems generally allow the automated control of the pressure and flow rate of single gases, gas mixtures or vapours, or the in-situ measurement of gas sorption for the investigation of the structural changes induced by gas-solid interactions.'
Julabo-logo
'Julabo develop and produce innovative temperature control instruments . Our refrigerated circulators are used for the temperature control of applications in research, materials testing and production. We also have many users in Neutron Scattering for controlling the temperatures of soft matter samples.'
