Scott D. Tanner is the 2020 winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award in Plasma Spectrochemistry, sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The award was presented to Tanner on January 13 at the 2020 Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry in Tucson, Arizona.
Tanner received his B.Sc. and PhD degrees from York University in Toronto, Ontario. He held positions at Sciex (Framingham, Massachusetts), the University of Toronto, and DVS Sciences (now part of Fluidigm). His contributions to the inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) community were substantial, focusing on the study of the fundamentals of ICP ion generation, dynamics, and transport, including prognostications on space charge and its implications for analyses; the development of the dynamic reaction cell for removing polyatomic ion interferences; and the development of ICP time-of-flight instrumentation for single-cell cytometry and subcellular imaging.
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.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
