Lab-Tools is a spin-off company speciallising in nano-science and nano-metrology. Lab-Tools Techniques : Nano-science : Nano-scale properties of liquids in pores and at interfaces. Nano-metrology : Bulk nano-scale to micro-scale characterisation; NMR Cryoporometry and neutron scattering techniques. The main technique to be applied and developed : NMR Cryoporometry is a recent technique for measuring and studying porous materials on the nano- to micro-scale. It can also analyse densely packed particles. Materials studied to date : Sol-gel & CPG silicas, MCM templated silicas, SBA templated silicas, Activated carbons, Zeolites, Fired & unfired clays, Marine Sediments, Chalks, Shales, Sandstones, Oil-bearing rocks, Cement, Concrete, Wood, Paper, Rubbers, Artificial skin, Melanised fungal cells, Meteorites.

Research into the properties of nano-structured liquids and solids.

Research into the properties of nano-structured rocks, of liquids confined in rocks and of gas hydrates confined in sediments. The aim is to increase recovery from gas and oil from reservoirs, and to investigate possibilities and dangers inherent in gas hydrates in marine and other environments.
