Deposition of Droplets

A: Droplets deposition device: dosage device DOSTAL DOSY (1), 3D positioning system (2). B: 3.5 µL droplets (1.88 mm diameter of a sphere with equal volume) placed onto a stretched low density polyethylene film 0.635 µm thick

This method consists in deposition of droplets on a backing, followed by their drying out. The apparatus for the deposition of droplets includes two remotely controlled devices (see Figure): a dosage device (1) mounted on the 3D positioning system (2), which allows precise positioning of the droplet dosage tip above the backing. The advantages of this technique are: quantitative yields, obtainment of very thin deposited layer, in the order of some tens of µg/cm2. The drawback is that the targets are not uniform.

LRC Annual Reports

The Annual Reports of the LRC contain accounts of ongoing scientific research and provide an overview of the variety of topics investigated in our laboratory. Until 2015, they comprise results achieved within the former Laboratory for Radio- and Environmental Chemistry (LCH).
