Review Historical
The Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CENCINAT) was created on 11 July 2013 and its research is aimed at the development of advanced materials (metal nanoparticles, nanophotocatalysts, nanocomposites, drug nanocarriers, hybrid nanofilms, nanostructured polymers, etc.) to be applied in the energy production, pharmaceuticals, water, oil, defence, agriculture and other industries.
The creation of CENCINAT has made it possible to bring together the efforts of various departments and researchers of the Institution in order to work on common projects. This synergy has resulted in the improvement of the scientific level of research and consequently it has been possible to publish in international journals with impact factors greater than two. Thus, the name of ESPE is currently better known in the country and in the international scientific community.
The Center provides professors and equipment for the Master’s Degree in Research in Nanotechnology and will serve to increase the number of researchers in Ecuador with excellent academic training and a high level of scientific research.
In recent years, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology has become a benchmark in scientific research in the field of nanoscience and its applications in Ecuador and the projects try to solve the problems that Ecuadorian society has in environmental, energy, biotechnological and body safety.

Application Requirements
Laboratories
Atomic Absorption (AA) Spectrometer
Perkin Elmer AAnalyst 800
Atomic absorption spectroscopy is an instrumental method of analytical chemistry that allows the measurement of specific concentrations of a material in a mixture and the determination of a wide variety of elements. This technique is used to determine the concentration of a particular element in a sample. More than 70 different elements can be determined in solution or directly in solid samples. The equipment is available graphite furnace, hydride generator.
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)
Horiba – LB-550
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a non-invasive technique. It is used for the characterization of particles, emulsions, or molecules that have been dispersed or dissolved in a liquid. The Brownian motion of suspended particles or molecules causes laser light to scatter at different intensities. From the analysis of these intensity fluctuations, the speed of Brownian motion and therefore the particle size is obtained using the Stokes-Einstein relationship.
Spectrophotometer (UV/VIS)
Analytic Jena S-600
The spectrophotometer uses electromagnetic radiation (light) from the visible, near-ultraviolet, and infrared regions between 100 nm and 1100 nm. The radiation absorbed by molecules from this region of the spectrum causes electron transitions that can be quantified. It is used to identify some functional groups of molecules among others.
Potentiometer
Metrohm Autolab PGSTAT 128-N
Cyclic voltammetry allows electrochemical measurements to be made. It is generally used to study the electrochemical properties of an analytical in a solution. It allows the determination of antioxidant capacity, and characterizes reactions involving electron transfer.
Solar Simulator
PV Measurements
The solar simulator allows the electromagnetic spectrum of the sun to be simulated. It is used to characterize the capacity of solar cells, but also to control photochemical reactions.
Ion Chromatograph
DIONEX ICS-1100
Ion chromatography allows the separation of ions and polar molecules, according to their affinity for the chromatographic column filling, therefore, it is used with almost any type of charged molecule. It is often used in water analysis and aqueous extracts. It is useful both in the environmental field and in the agri-food industry. Our Ion chromatograph has a Dionex IonPAC AS14 column, designed for the determination of inorganic anions such as chloride, fluoride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, etc.
Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)
Bruker – Dimension Icon – ScanAsyst
The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a mechano-optical instrument capable of detecting forces on the order of nanonewtons and imaging samples at the atomic level. The equipment found in our laboratory allows the measurement of solid or liquid samples. It allows morphological, mechanical, and chemical characterization.
Scanning Electron Microscope (FEG-SEM)
Tescan – MIRA 3
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of microscope capable of producing high-resolution images of the surface of a sample using electron-matter interactions. The detectors available from this equipment are secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, systems-in-lens (ES/BSE), cathodoluminescence, elemental chemical analysis, low vacuum.
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
FEI – Tecnai Spirit Twin (120 kV)
Transmission electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons to image thin samples. Information on morphology, structure and diffraction pattern (SAED) can be obtained. Its resolution is 0.15 nm point to point.
X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD)
Panalytical – Empyrean
The diffractometer uses an X-ray source that is concentrated on a sample. The result of the interaction between the emitted X-rays and the sample structure gives us a diffractogram that, once interpreted, allows us to know the compound studied as well as its spatial structure.
Metallizer (Sputtering)
Quorum – Q150R EN
The metallizer allows the coating of samples with metallic materials. It is mainly used in electron microscopy to deposit a controlled thickness of material such as gold, gold-platinum, among others. In this way, the sample is conductive so that a morphological analysis can be performed.
Profilometer
Bruker – Dektak XT
The profilometer allows the roughness or profile of a surface to be measured by contacting a tip specifically designed to detect surface irregularities. The roughness of any sample can be calculated. It is used in measurements of thin films, for example, deposition or thin films such as solar cells.
Optical microscopes
Optical microscopes are connected to digital cameras in order to take numerical photos of the samples. They are of everyday use in the laboratory for the preparation of samples for electron microscopy.
Real-time thermal cycler
Roche LightCycler 96
The real-time thermal cycler is a PCR equipment that allows nucleic acids to be detected and quantified as they are amplified. This thermocycling method allows for rapid, more sensitive and specific detection of certain areas of the genetic material. In our laboratory we use it for gene expression analysis at the cellular or bacterial level in view of possible traits or patterns of resistance, virulence and cytotoxicity.
Fluorescence Microscope
Olympus IX-53
The fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence to generate an image by the excitation-emission phenomenon of light by fluorochromes. This type of instrument allows revealing and/or visualizing attributes that are not evident under conventional light microscopy such as sub-microscopic cellular components, bacteria, viruses, labeled proteins of interest. It is of great importance as a tool within the biological, biomedical and materials sciences sciences because the quantity, distribution and location of even a single molecule can be determined.
Fluorescence Confocal Microscope
Olympus FV-1200
The confocal microscope outperforms conventional fluorescence microscope in resolution and contrast using an optical point-illumination technique and a spatial pinhole that blocks light that is out of focus when the image is being formed. This allows the analysis of live or fixed biological samples at the laboratory level with a direct, serial and non-invasive method. It can reconstruct three-dimensional images by scanning multiple optical planes of samples with depth. And it has an incubation chamber for coupled cell growth, which finally makes it a fully robotic instrument.
DNA Sequencer
Sanger Genetic Analyzer 3130
The ABI 3130 genetic analyzer is an instrument that makes it possible to identify the nucleotide composition of pieces of DNA. To do this, it uses capillary electrophoresis coupled to an ordered nucleotide detection system by fluorescence. This technology (Sanger) remains the Gold Standard for obtaining reliable sequence results and validating data obtained by NGS. In the laboratory it has been used for the identification and validation of bacterial types.
Cell Analyzer
MUSE® Cell Analyzer Merck Millipore
This Muse cell analyzer is a miniaturized fluorescence detection version of fluorophore-labeled single cells that pass in flux through a micro-capillary. This gives us the possibility of performing quantitative analyses of greater precision compared to other methods. In addition, it evaluates 3 cellular parameters: cell size and 2 fluorophore colors (yellow and red channels), through which at the laboratory level we have been able to analyze cytotoxicity and cell death by labeling of intracellular molecules typical of these conditions.
