The Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics - within the Faculty of Technical Chemistry, opens an external URL in a new window -  bridges different matters in Chemistry, Technology, Instrumental Analytical Chemistry, Materials Science, Bioanalytics, Electrochemistry and Environmental Chemistry and unifies basic with applied sciences & technologies within one institution, which is a unique combination found in Central and Eastern Europe.

The scientific focus of the institute is on one hand development of analytical strategies and instrumentation (e.g. (bio)sensors, omics-techniques, mass spectrometry, imaging techniques, ultra trace separation and detection techniques on the elemental as well as molecular level). On the other hand the focus is related to technology of speciality materials, ranging from metals, less common metals, high performance ceramics, thin films and composites to biomedical materials, as well as energy storage and conversion devices in connection with electrochemical technologies. The development of powerful analytic techniques for structure elucidation as well as for environmental technologies is another focus of research within the institute.

The strength of the institute lies in the remarkable combination of industrially driven applied research and development with an exceptional range of analytical, chemical and structural characterization methods, represented by a large pool of "high-end" scientific equipment. As an example, the institutes has in-house access to an array of excellent analytical instruments pooled in the X-ray Center, opens in new window and Analytical Instrumentation Center, opens in new window allowing competitive research in a large number of application fields (e.g. ranging from inorganic metallic materials to biological tissues).

The Institute of Chemical Technologies and Analytics is organized in five research divisions and consists of 12 research groups headed by international renown scientists and high potential young scientists.

Maintenance on security systems of WLAN/VPN Internet connection

On Tuesday, September 20, 2022 the necessary adaptation of the WLAN/VPN firewall setup will take place in a maintenance window from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Update 8:00 p.m. : The maintenance work has been completed successfully.

During the specified period, the existing firewall systems for the WLAN and VPN service will be replaced by a new modern solution that offers state-of-the-art security functions. Firewalls are still a cornerstone of any security architecture and thus make a significant contribution to increasing the security, stability and performance of the services.

All WLAN and VPN services are affected by the reconstruction; during the maintenance work, there may be interruptions in the WLAN and VPN internet connectivity to and from TUnet and its services.

We will try to keep the interruptions as short as possible and thank you for your understanding.

No changes to your end systems are necessary. If you suspect a problem after completing the maintenance work carried out, please first check the network settings of your system or contact the IT contact person at your institute. Also check the TUnet status and currently listed messages on TU.it Home, opens an external URL in a new window. If problems persist, send an email to help@it.tuwien.ac.at or contact us at 58801-42002.
