VUV Analytics Offers Academic Grant Program
VUV Analytics (Austin, Texas) is offering an academic grant program, available to all higher education institutions in the United States, for research involving the company’s VGA-100 chromatography detector.
The VGA-100 is the world’s first commercially available vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy instrument. The grant program represents an opportunity for the academic community to pioneer the largely unexplored research applications enabled by VUV spectroscopy.
The grant submission process requires all registrants to complete a short form, and submit a one- to two-page abstract describing the scope of the planned research. The awarded grantee will have access to the VGA-100 for an entire semester. The company’s proposal submission process runs from March 18 to May 1. The grantee will be announced on May 3.

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
