Nano imaging and Surface Mass Spectrometry
The laboratory of Microorgasms and Food Irradiation was established in January 2009 in order to conduct research in microorganisms contaminated food and environment. Research program, realized in collaboration with national and international laboratories, is divided into two areas:
Food irradiation and analysis of cyanobacteria, fungi and their associated toxins.
Characterization of Binary Drug by ToF-SIMS
A project on the analysis of drug using ToF-SIMS is launched for the characterization and for potential semi quantification of active ingredients (AIs) in commercial medicines. The optimization of the technique, for reliable semi quantification of AIs, needs well comprehension of different parameters that are influencing the secondary ion emission (intra and inter molecule interaction, homogeneity, surface topography and composition...)
Characterization of Nano Layer BInGaAs deposited on Ga As Substrate
Semi quantification and eventually absolute quantification of light elements in quaternary thin films deposited onto semiconductor substrates is investigated for BInGaAs/GaAs system. Surface homogeneity as well as potential diffusion of Boron in the substrate is studied.
