About Theo Puts

Tasks 1990-1992 Gc-FID Method development and analyses. 1990-Until now HPLC method development and analyses. Since 1998 also UPLC. 1991-1993 Defect analyses SEM-EDX 1992-2008 Method development and analyses ion chromatography. 1992-until now GPC, method development and characterization of synthetic and biopolymers. Since 1998 with triple detection (Malvern). 1995-2008 Guiding trainees at MBO and HBO level within chromatography. 1995-until now At production problems: develop an approach, using chromatography for trouble shooting. 2008-until now Method development and coordination of chromatographic methods for the analysis of extractables and leachables, from Ion Exchange Membranes for drinking water production. Since 2014 also of membranes for food processing. 2015-until now Method development and analysis (quantitative and identification) of small molecules, using 2D-UPLC-MS(QTOF premier, since 2022 Thermo Orbitrap Exploris 120). coaching colleagues within the chromatography group. 2010-2017 50% Analytical - 50% detached at open innovation. Coordination of analysis for open innovation. Method development, execute and guiding Bachelor and Master students performing (straight/reverse) electrodialysis experiments using small pilot setups. Development of electrochemical methods for the characterization of Ion Exchange Membranes (PS, ER, Electro-osmosis ect). These were used at our contribution to projects such as:"Blue Energy" and "Red Heat to power". 2017-until now 50% Analitical - 50% detached at production development, Ion Exchange Membranes. Coordination of analysis. Method development, execution, and Guiding a master student with the development of electrochemical methods for the characterization by means of DC a d EIS, of Ion Exchange Membranes (Baobab project).
