Extensive materials research is performed at KTH in a wide range of research fields. The research thus requires various types of experimental equipment. KTH has research facilities, laboratories and equipment located at 8 different schools. The equipment may be divided into two main groups, i.e. methods/instruments for (i) processing or synthesizing materials and for (ii) investigating or characterizing materials. By following the links below, you can obtain information about the types of instruments, which are available at KTH (tool categories). Information about each specific instrument in the system is also available.

Laboratories at KTH
There are a large number of laboratories used for materials research at KTH. Some of them are quite specialized and contain few instruments, while others are larger and has a wider user community. Below are some of the largest materials research laboratory facilities/centra at KTH:
This is a joint laboratory between KTH and Stockholm University for nonlinear optics, laser physics and surface science.
The Allbanova Nanofabrication Facility offers joint laboratory facilities in nano and micro scale fabrication, imaging and metrology to a broad user spectrum.
The Electrum Laboratory is an outstanding resource for fabrication and characterization in the nano and micro scale, supporting the whole chain from education, research and development, to prototyping and production in the processes.
Greenhouse Labs belongs to the School of Chemical Science and Engineering and leases laboratory facilities and offices to innovative companies in the chemistry business.
This laboratory perform tests on all types of road materials: bitumen, asphalt and unbound materials. The instrument park includes a high resolution X-ray tomograph, which is used for visualizing the behavior of asphalt and concrete cores under applied loads.
Odqvist Laboratory is a centre for experimental mechanics at KTH. For more information on the partner laboratories please follow the links below:
