Service at MtoZ Biolabs

MtoZ Biolabs provides a full suite of surface analytical techniques tailored to diverse materials and research objectives. Our Surface Analysis Services cover the following specialized methods:

💠Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) Analytical Service

Enables nanoscale elemental analysis of material surfaces and interfaces. AES is ideal for detecting surface contamination, evaluating thin-film uniformity, and studying chemical changes across interfacial regions.

💠Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) Analytical Service

Delivers molecular and elemental mapping of surfaces with high spatial resolution. TOF-SIMS is widely used to assess the homogeneity of pharmaceutical coatings, investigate biomaterial interfaces, and study molecular adsorption patterns.

💠Dual Beam Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Analytical Service

Combines precise ion beam milling and imaging for cross-sectional preparation, nanostructure visualization, and micro-fabrication. This technique supports in-depth analysis of coatings, microelectronic layers, and biological surface interfaces.

💠Ellipsometry Analytical Service

A non-destructive optical technique for determining thin-film thickness and refractive index. Ellipsometry provides essential insights into pharmaceutical coating quality, polymer layer uniformity, and biological film formation.

💠Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) Analytical Service

A high-sensitivity method for probing electronic structures and oxidation states. EELS is particularly suitable for studying nanomaterials, catalysts, and complex inorganic phases.

💠Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) Analytical Service

Commonly integrated with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), EDS provides qualitative and semi-quantitative elemental analysis for materials such as alloys, composites, and ceramics, aiding in structural and compositional verification.

These complementary services allow MtoZ Biolabs to deliver multidimensional insight into surface properties, enabling precise correlation between surface chemistry and performance characteristics.
