Wettability and Adhesion of Real Surfaces Seminar

Join us for a 1 hour seminar about Wettability and Adhesion, where we will go through how to utilize contact angles for wettability measurements and evaluation of adhesion. We will also address the theory behind them and emphasize strategies how to apply these measurements to real, non-ideal surfaces which may be heterogeneous in both surface chemistry and surface roughness. 

Wettability and adhesion are key parameters in numerous industries such as coatings, biotechnology and electronics. The seminar will include lecture and a demonstration of how to account for the surface roughness and wettability determination for advanced research.

You can also download our White Paper on Surface roughness and wettability.

3D Bioprinting is Medicine’s Next Frontier

The growing push for 3-D tissue models is limited by challenges in automated handling, processing, and scalability of the technology to various types of materials and high-throughput applications. To meet these challenges, 4D bioprinting and human-cell derived ECM bioinks can allow researchers to biologically mimic the formation of complex, heterogeneous 3-D structures and to scale the technology to high-throughput and clinically translatable applications. This webinar will discuss the latest megatrends behind bioprinting developments as well as scientific and medical applications developed for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, preclinical screening and testing, veterinary medicine, as well as personalized drug and food development. Some key topics to be discussed include:

  • Key advantages of 3D bioprinting over other techniques
  • Alterations in cellular physiology of cells in 3D vs. 2D
  • Megatrends behind bioprinting’s importance in biomedicine
  • Introduction of biomedical applications of bioprinting across various disciplines
  • ROKIT Healthcare’s work in clinical translation of bioprinting in the operating room
  • Built-in cell incubator, diverse material use, and high-throughput capabilities of all-in-one bioprinting platforms

The seminar reinforces the significance of bioprinting advancements in the age of Industry 4.0 – as a movement aligned with global megatrends in healthcare toward personalized medicine, computer-aided production of biological processes, and autologous regenerative therapy.

Industrial Applications of AFM: Beyond the flat world – Using AFM for metrology on complex sample shapes

Nanosurf Webinar Advanced AFM tools

Advanced AFM tools

Industrial Applications of AFM

Who is this webinar for: Bio and life science researchers

About:

AFM has long been a critical metrology tool for measuring nanometer resolution topographic roughness and nanostructure. However commercially available AFMs limited the sample size and shape to either small sample, or wafer/waferlike geometries. In other words, flat samples. If your samples didn’t fit into those size/shape constraints, your options were to either destroy your part or measure discrete regions which may or may not be applicable to your needs. Today, however, Nanosurf takes AFM out of the flat sample world and into 3 dimensions. With the option of multiple scanner designs and knowledge to build 3, 4, 5 or more axis staging, working with real parts is now a reality. This brings AFM into metrology for complex optics, machined parts, gratings and more. Come learn how AFM can improve your metrology without destroying your parts..

Oxford Instruments Magnetic Resonance Webinar: Introduction to Benchtop NMR Spectroscopy

Benchtop NMR Spectroscopy

Due to its popularity, we are re-running one of the webinars we held last year, “Introduction to Benchtop NMR Spectroscopy” on Wednesday 28 April at 08:00 BST and 16:00 BST. This time, the webinar will include new applications in the field of battery research.

Benchtop NMR is a versatile and powerful tool for analytical chemistry. This webinar will cover the basic concepts of NMR and what is easily achievable with the X-Pulse broadband benchtop NMR system. Following the success of last year’s webinar, this webinar will also include new applications in the field of battery research.

By attending this webinar you will learn:

  • What benchtop NMR is
  • What types of data can be collected
  • How this data can be used to understand your chemistry
  • How X-Pulse allows you to analyse a wide range of nuclei

Date: Wednesday 28 April

Time: 08:00 BST (09:00 CET) and 16:00 BST (17:00 CET, 11:00 EDT)

Oxford Instruments Magnetic Resonance Webinar: Oil and Fat Analysis for Improved Yield and Quality throughout the Food Chain

Webinar Oil and Fat Analysis

During this webinar, hosted by Oils & Fats International, we will discuss how both time domain NMR (TD-NMR) and benchtop NMR spectroscopy are used to measure oils and fats throughout the food chain; from harvest through to manufacturing of ingredients and the food products themselves. For example, fat content is an important parameter for quality assurance and control of snacks, confectionery and food ingredients. Other TD-NMR measurables include the melting profile of edible oils/fats and droplet size in food emulsions such as dairy and non-dairy spreads.

Benchtop NMR spectroscopy can quantify the proportion of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in a variety of foods. Furthermore, spectra can be used to distinguish and authenticate different vegetable oils and meats as well as test for robusta in Arabica coffee.

Please note: if you are unable to join us, the session will be recorded and communicated with registered guests only. Please register to receive this communication.
