    The technical laboratories house  the high-pressure and large-scale synthesis facilities of the institute. Autoclaves are typically manufactured in our own workshops and operated in specially encased pressure chambers. Large-scale synthesis facilities are available for reactions in glass vessels up to 200 L. Furthermore, a standard set of purified and/or dried and deoxygenated solvents (about 1.500 L per month) are continuously provided for all research groups. Another focus of our department entails the disposal of chemical waste with an annual quantity of about 35 tons.
