The National ESCA and Surface Analysis Center for Biomedical Problems (NESAC/BIO) is a state-of-the art surface analysis center whose mission is the development and application of surface analysis methods for biomedical research.
This NESAC/BIO Surface Characterization Workshop includes lectures and surface analysis demonstrations.
Demonstrations on NESAC/BIO instruments will provide application examples for the material covered in the workshop lectures. Attendees will learn the capabilities of surface analysis methods and how to intelligently review data received from surface analysis laboratories. The workshop will focus on the following methods:
•Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA)
•Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS)
•Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM)
•Sum Frequency Generation (SFG)
•Near Edge Xray Absorption Fine Structure
(NEXAFS)
•Multivariate Data Analysis
•Contact Angle Measurements
•Surface Modification
•Surface Plasmon Resonance
