July 31 thru August 2, 2017
University of Washington, Seattle WA
Workshop flyer

This 2.5 day 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 biomedical surface analysis methods and how to intelligently review data received from surface analysis laboratories. NESAC/BIO faculty and staff will address the following topics at this workshop:

  • Introduction to Surface Analysis  (David Castner)
  • Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis  (Lara Gamble)
  • Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry  (David Castner)
  • Sum Frequency Generation  (Patrik Johansson)
  • Contact Angle Measurements  (Allan Hoffman)
  • Surface Modification (Allan Hoffman)
  • Multivariate Data Analysis  (Dan Graham)
  • Scanning Probe Microscopy  (Micah Glaz)
  • Surface Plasmon Resonance  (David Castner)
  • Quartz Crystal Microbalance (David Castner)
  • Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure  (Lara Gamble)
  • Multi-technique Biomedical Surface Analysis  (Buddy Ratner)
  • Instrument Demonstrations
