INFIQC - Scientific Expertise and Technological Services for Industry

Who We Are

The Institute for Research in Physical Chemistry of Córdoba (INFIQC) is a joint research institute of Argentina's National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) and the National University of Córdoba (UNC).

Located in Córdoba, Argentina, INFIQC combines specialized scientific expertise, experienced technical staff, and advanced instrumentation to provide analytical services to companies, research centers, and public organizations.

Through CONICET's High-Level Technological Services (STAN), we offer access to scientific capabilities that support product characterization, quality-related investigations, research and development, and the resolution of specific technical challenges.

Our Services

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy

Identification and characterization of known and unknown chemical substances, as well as qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical systems. NMR provides valuable information for molecular characterization and the investigation of chemical compounds, supporting research and industrial applications.

X-ray Diffraction (XRD)

Non-destructive structural analysis of crystalline solids, including identification and quantification of crystalline phases and crystal structure determination using powder XRD. Applications include minerals, cement, ceramics, catalysts, pharmaceutical materials, and semiconductors.

Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry

We offer several analytical techniques for the separation, identification, and quantification of chemical compounds:

• HPLC and GC-FID: Separation and quantitative analysis of components in complex mixtures.

• GC-MS: Identification of organic compounds, characterization of natural extracts, and determination of impurities in samples.

• UHPLC-MS/MS (Triple Quadrupole): Multicomponent analysis and quantification of low analyte concentrations in complex matrices, including foods, biological fluids, and plant extracts.

These capabilities serve the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, agricultural, and environmental sectors, as well as research and development laboratories.

Scientific Glassblowing Workshop

Our specialized workshop provides repair and modification services for glass and quartz laboratory equipment. Experienced technicians use manual glassblowing techniques to work on flasks, Erlenmeyer vessels, test tubes, and other laboratory apparatus. We also manufacture sintered-glass discs in different sizes and porosities, offering practical solutions for laboratories and industrial facilities.

Liquid Nitrogen Supply

We supply high-quality liquid nitrogen for cryogenic applications, including low-temperature chemical reactions, operation of scientific equipment, laboratory cooling, and biological sample preservation. The service includes filling suitable cryogenic storage containers under appropriate safety procedures.

Partner with INFIQC

INFIQC welcomes opportunities to work with companies, industrial clusters, technology organizations, and research institutions seeking specialized analytical capabilities and scientific support.

Our services provide access to equipment and qualified professionals for organizations requiring chemical analysis, materials characterization, or technical assistance without maintaining these capabilities in-house.

We are interested in establishing connections with industrial and technological partners to address specific analytical needs and explore potential research collaborations.
