Goal(s)
Introduce the main techniques to characterize:
- Biomolecular interactions at interfaces: Surface Plasmon Resonance, BioLayer Interferometry
- Nanomaterials and surfaces: Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring, Spectroscopic Ellpisometry, Local Probe Microscopy technics, Electron microscopy
Content(s)
• Biomolecular interactions at interfaces: Design of an assay, data analysis, principle and examples of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and BioLayer Interferometry (BLI)
• Characterization of molecular adsorption: Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring-QCM-D, Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
• Electron microscopy: Why use electrons for imaging and how? Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy
