A resource for research and development in the forest-based sector
The Innventia Wood and Fibre Measurement Centre is a resource useful for research and development in a wide spectrum of areas: forests, trees, wood, fibres and products. The Centre has access to an arsenal of methods for the characterisation of properties of wood and fibres on solid wood and pulp
samples, for broad-leaves/hardwoods also vessel elements. The methods are efficient enough to allow measurements on representative numbers of sample.
The Centre provides a unique combination of expertise and equipment
complemented with a strong network of research groups and industrial partners, nationally and internationally. More than 40 research units world-wide have so far made use of data from the Centre, in projects spanning from fundamental studies of doctoral students to development of industrial applications.
The team of researchers working in the Centre has also large experience from developing of measurement systems, both for the laboratory and for on-line use in the industry. Competence is available to develop new methods and to adapt existing methods to new measurement conditions, which may occur for instance when new wood species or types of pulp are to be analysed.
