Nominations Sought for AOAC Awards
AOAC International is seeking nominations for the Harvey W. Wiley Award and for recognition as a Fellow of AOAC International. The AOAC Awards Program recognizes significant contributions to the analytical science community and to AOAC itself.
The Harvey W. Wiley Award is presented to a scientist (or group of scientists) who has made an outstanding contribution to analytical method development in an area of interest to AOAC International. The recipient is selected from nominations received from members of the analytical science community, with nominations accepted year round. All nominating materials for the 2016 Harvey W. Wiley Awards must be received no later than January 31, 2015.
The Fellow of AOAC International Award recognizes meritorious service to the Association. This award is given to members of AOAC whose volunteer efforts have significantly contributed to the success and prestige of the Association. All nominating materials for 2015 Fellows of AOAC must be received no later than February 15, 2015.
For eligibility and nomination guidelines, visit the AOAC web site or contact May Rose Jones, Program Manager, at +1 301-924-7077 ext. 114, or email at mjones@aoac.org.
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.
