General requirements

routine, standard measurements (analyte-to-surface binding kinetics using standard reagents) and for measurements involving more complicated systems (film thickness measurements, adsorbed mass measurements, measurements involving nanoparticles and biological cells).

The Department of Physics is investing in a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) instrument to replace its current system which has been heavily used for the past 12 years. The instrument will be equally used for carrying out
