In summary, the conversation revolved around the cost and budget needed to establish a laboratory for making carbon nano tubes using chemical vapor deposition equipment. Suggestions were made for equipment manufacturers and rough estimates were given, with the reminder to also consider the additional costs of gas handling, monitoring, and other necessary components for a safe operation. A consultant also offered their services and a suggested cost of $40,000 USD for 100 grams of products.

Can anybody give a rough estimate of price for a
chemical Vapour deposition equipment to make
carbon nano tubes? How much budget do we need to
establish a laboratory to make carbon nano tubes?

Do a google search for: "processing equipment for carbon nanotube" which will bring up a number of equipment manufacturers that do this sort of stuff.

If you're starting from nothing, don't forget that you'll also need to pay for everything that's needed to make a CVD system run (safely): gas cabinets and handling, gas monitoring (I don't know the exact process for making CNTs, but if it's like other CVD processes, you probably don't want to be breathing the gases), demineralized cooling water, (possibly) a controlled environment, etc.

Tystar offers CNT tube furnace for about $200K. Depending on your budget, they may custom-build a furnace at a lower price. We use their furnaces for CNT and graphene production at our lab. Their systems are reliable and their technical support is quite satisfactory.

Hi,
If still you are looking for this equipment,I can suggest for the equipments of CNT.I am a consultant and has expertise in this specific area.
The entire cost depends on the specific purpose and the quantity of products to be grown.
My suggested systems are cheapest and safest.
Either one can procure part of the set-up or can ask for the entire set up.We are also helping in the installation in any part of the world.
Say for example,to get 100 gm of products,the entire cost will be around 40000 USD.
Important,CVD Graphene can also be grown in the same set-up.
For further potential talks,

I cannot provide a specific estimate for the cost of a chemical vapor deposition equipment for making carbon nanotubes as it can vary depending on the specific equipment and supplier. However, I would recommend contacting the company directly at www.agnanosys.com for more information on pricing and equipment options.

In terms of establishing a laboratory for making carbon nanotubes, the budget will depend on various factors such as the size of the laboratory, the equipment and materials needed, and any additional costs for safety and regulation compliance. It is best to consult with a financial advisor or a supplier like Agnanosys for a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs and goals. Additionally, it is important to consider the long-term costs of maintaining and operating the laboratory.
