AnaChip for Surface science applications
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Surface Science and thin film applications are studied on AnaLight instruments by injecting one or more molecular species into the flow over the prepared surface of an AnaChip, often with another interacting molecule already immobilized. Molecular immobilization onto the AnaChip surface can be undertaken by either covalent chemistry or charge (physisorption).
Farfield offers a range of AnaChips suitable for surface science and Nanotechnology applications. The most suitable AnaChip surface for any experiment should be assessed according to the properties of the molecules being studied and the objectives behind the measurements being taken on the AnaLight.
Farfield offers a comprehensive range of AnaKit consumables to ensure our customers can easily and quickly choose the most suitable combination of capture surface and linker chemistry to succeed in their experiments. This powerful combination means that molecules of any charge or solvation state can be studied at any pH, in any buffer and/or organic solvent that matches the requirements of the analysis.
Further technical information on biophysical immobilization strategies can be found in the Knowledge Base.
