Fluorescence Alteration of Multiple Macerals (FAMM)
Fluorescence Alteration of Multiple Macerals (FAMM) is a thermally based organic maturity analysis technique that measures the fluorescence intensity changes of different maceral groups (vitrinite, liptinite, inertinite) during controlled heating.
As the sample is gradually heated under inert atmosphere, the fluorescence color and intensity of macerals diminish in response to thermal alteration, providing a rapid and sensitive indicator of thermal maturity, hydrocarbon generation potential, and kerogen evolution.
FAMM complements conventional vitrinite reflectance and Rock–Eval pyrolysis, offering a non-destructive, optical method for assessing organic matter maturity in source rocks, shales, and coals. -
Raman Analyzer of organic macerals
The Raman Analyzer of Organic Macerals is an advanced spectroscopic instrument used to characterize the molecular structure and thermal maturity of organic matter in coals, shales, and source rocks.
By analyzing the Raman D and G band features of individual macerals (vitrinite, inertinite, liptinite), it provides precise information on aromaticity, structural disorder, and graphitization trends.
This non-destructive technique complements reflectance and fluorescence methods, offering a rapid, in-situ, and quantitative assessment of organic matter evolution and hydrocarbon generation potential. -
Visual Microtubule Raman Microscope
The Visual Microtubule Raman Microscope is a high-resolution analytical system that combines optical imaging and Raman spectroscopy to observe and characterize fluid behavior, phase transitions, and molecular interactions within microscale capillaries or microtubules under controlled temperature and pressure.
It enables in-situ, non-destructive chemical analysis of complex systems—such as CO₂–oil–water interactions, asphaltene/wax precipitation, and confined fluid dynamics—making it ideal for reservoir fluid, CCUS, and EOR research applications.
