Danlin Laboratory

Danlin completed the 3000 square foot technology center in April 2003. The technology center consists of 3 individual lab areas, a conference training area, offices, and utilities areas.

The first lab is where samples are brought in, logged in, and wet analyses are performed here. This lab contains a tensiometer which measures surface tension of liquids, our freezers for low temperatures applications down to -40ºF, and wet chemistry titration materials for water analysis.

The second lab is our instrument lab and contains the Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer, Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform – Infra Red Spectrometer, Princeton Applied Research Electrochemical Potentiostat/Galvonostat for corrosion testing, and the High Temperature – High Pressure Roller Oven.

The third lab is referred to as our oil lab. This lab contains our fume hood, several water baths, a centrifuge, a microwave digestion apparatus, a paraffin flowloop apparatus, Brookfield Viscometer, and other support services.

The training and conference area is used to give continuous upgrade training to Danlin personnel and to provide specific topical training to customers.
