Surface Science Applications

Dual Polarisation Interferometry (DPI) is an analytical technique used to understand the real-time structure and behaviour of a wide range of thin films and nanosurfaces through quantitative measurement. DPI, the core technology of the AnaLight® instrument range, has been successful across a range of surface science applications, including polymers, surfactants, fine chemicals and biomolecules.

As an interferometric technique, DPI has a wide dynamic range so can accommodate a broad range of typical solvents, such as DMSO and EtOH, and buffers and buffer additives. This means that the DPI user can carry out experiments in the conditions of choice rather than those dictated by the limitations of other techniques.

The unique, absolute measurements provided by DPI enable the researcher to question and understand thin films and nanosurfaces and their interactions to an extent not previously available in a laboratory-based technique.
