X-Ray Analysis
In the field of analytical techniques using X-rays, several important developments have been achieved in recent years. Synchrotron radiation has been shown to be an excellent excitation source for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry. > more
Laser Spectroscopy
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are mutations in the human genome. Some of them are suspected elicite genetically activated diseases. To understand the correlation between SNP mutations and diseases it is necessary to screen many human DNA sequences for statistical analysis. > more
Molecular Spectroscopy
For clinical research and therapy, continuous blood glucose monitoring is an important tool for improving glycaemic control in diabetic and critically ill patients. ISAS has developed a mid-infrared sensor in combination with a body interface for continuous glucose monitoring delivering the utmost reliability as needed for the intensive care environment. > more
Laser Ablation
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a popular, very powerful technique for rapid element analysis of solid samples. In recent years there are more and more applications where LA-ICP-MS is used for 2D-mapping. > more
Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GD-MS)
ISAS is participating in the EC founded project (STREP-NMP no 032202) New Elemental and Molecular Depth Profiling Analysis of Materials by Pulsed Radio Frequency Glow Discharge Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (EMDPA). > more
Miniaturised NMR Probe
A new NMR microprobe based on microstrip technology suitable for investigations of volume-limited samples in the low nanoliter range was designed. NMR spectra of sample quantities in the hundred picomole range can be obtained with this probe in a few seconds. > more
SPR-electron source
Pulsed X-rays sources have a great potential for the near future. As X-rays with even sub-femtosecond temporal length become available, totally new time domains are accessible. Today, the movement of an electron around an atom has become measurable. > more
