Dutcher Lab Equipment
We use a wide range of state-of-the-art, surface-sensitive nanoscience tools in newly renovated laboratories to probe the structure, dynamics and mechanical properties of polymers, biopolymers and bacterial cells at surfaces and interfaces. In our group, we have both Major Characterization Facilities and sophisticated Sample Preparation Facilities, as well as access to other tools within the the Electrochemical Technology Centre and the Advanced Analysis Centre. Please see the links to the individual pieces of equipment to the left.
