About REACT
Instrumentation
REACT core facility provides a range of instrumentation and services for students and industrial researchers interested in catalysis.
With decades of expertise in heterogeneous catalysis, our team supports researchers in exploring the surface chemistry of materials. REACT offers two main services: standardized catalyst and adsorbent testing equipment, and custom system design for high-risk, high-reward research challenges.
More than just a facility, REACT is a training ground, empowering students and researchers to not only use equipment but to design experiments and collect data that truly answer their scientific questions.
