Biomolecular Binding Detection in Real-Time Using QCM and SPR Workshop

16 spots available
SPR (Surface Plasma Resonance): an analytical spectroscopy that measures surface adsorption through changes of the resonating angle caused by the respective binding
QCM (Quartz Crystal Microbalance): an analytical technique used to study the surface adsorption and desorption in real time at nanogram levels based on the converse piezoelectric effect
Obtain hands on experience in how these instruments and techniques are used in protein adsorption, enzyme binding kinetics, drug delivery, biomembranes and sorption sensors
Lecture HSCI 101 or 107, Laboratory (HSCI-353)
Application deadline: July 31st, 2017
