In the Laboratory of Phase Transition Kinetics, three main experimental apparatuses are currently being developed:

• Apparatus for measurement of the density of supercooled aqueous liquids at temperatures down to – 40 °C and pressures up to 200 MPa
• Apparatus for measurement of the surface tension of supercooled water down to – 30 °C
• Expansion chamber for investigation of the nucleation of droplets in the CCS relevant systems
