Zeta Potential
I have functionalized and unfunctionalized SiNWs that I would like to get measurements for the surface potential. I was wondering if there was an instrument in Birck that could give me a readout in eV or mV to compare.

Thanks,
Kelly

Nanoman AFM
Kelly,
The Nanoman AFM might be a candidate. Please contact me directly so we can discuss details.
Thanks,
John

Zeta Potential and AFM
Hello Kelly, I have received feedback from sources I have questioned, and there is no other place on campus to measure surface potential. However, along with John Coy, Dr. Helen McNally said she would be happy to discuss using the BioAFM as well. Be cautioned, surface potential is not a usual common technique. Dr. McNally has stated that this would be more of a small research project. Please feel free to contact her: mcnallyh@ecn.purdue.edu.
