​Various state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment is available for use by all center members.  The Center has a very significant investment in both coherent and incoherent laser-based diagnostic techniques for measuring major and minor species, velocity, temperature, droplet size and size distribution, and soot volume fraction.  In addition to world-class Analytical Chemistry and Visualization Core labs, the center has its own analytical chemistry capability for extractive sampling measurements of permanent gases and hydrocarbon species up to multi-ring PAHs.
