Analytical Techniques for Biomaterial
Characterization
• Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM):
– image changes at surface
• Spectral Ellipsometry:
– determination of thickness and refractive index of adsorbed
layer
Km
A bulk
dR/dt = - KdR
• Rt is response at time t in RU
• R0 is response at an arbitrary starting point
Applications of SPR
• Physical applications: measure dielectric properties, adsorption
processes, surface degradation or hydration of
– Thin organic monolayers or bilayers
– Polymer films
• Exceptional sensitivity:
– Small quantities of purified reagents are required
Disadavantages
• Disadvantage of SPR:
– Lack of sensitivity when monitoring low molecular
weight adsorbates
– Rate limiting factor of mass transport-affecting kinetic
