Malvern Instruments (Malvern, UK) has opened a new multipurpose facility in Houston, Texas.
Malvern Instruments (Malvern, UK) has opened a new multipurpose facility in Houston, Texas. The 22,000 square foot building is double the size of Malvern’s previous premises in Houston and houses state-of-the-art laboratories, product development, manufacturing, and commercial operations. The site will be a center of excellence for the company’s separations products, and will provide applications development and demonstration facilities for all Malvern systems.
Malvern’s sister company, PANalytical (Westborough, MA), also has a demonstration laboratory in the building.
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.
