Scientific Support

Discuss your measurement challengewith an interface science specialist.

Discuss measurement methods, experimental questions and instrument-related measurement tasks directly with SINTERFACE.

Scientific Consultation

Start with the scientific question.

Interface measurements often depend on more than the nominal specification of an instrument. The relevant method may depend on the sample, interface, time scale and experimental objective.

Scientific consultation provides a direct way to discuss these questions before deciding whether the appropriate next step is a measurement, sample pre-test or instrument-related evaluation.

Measurement Questions

When scientific consultation can be useful.

Consultation is intended for measurement questions that require discussion of the scientific or experimental context rather than only a product specification.

01

Measurement Method

Discuss which measurement approach is appropriate for the scientific question and interface under investigation.

02

Experimental Approach

Discuss the sample, experimental conditions and relevant aspects of the planned measurement.

03

Instrument Selection

Discuss which SINTERFACE measurement platform may be relevant to the intended experimental task.

04

Measurement Challenge

Discuss a specific difficulty, unusual sample or methodological question related to interface characterization.

Interface Science

Scientific discussion connected to measurement data.

Measurement questions can be discussed in connection with the relevant measurement principles, experimental conditions and available SINTERFACE technologies.

Measurement data and instrument output can provide an important basis for discussing a specific experimental or methodological question.

Consultation Process

From questionto the appropriate next step.

01

Describe the question

Provide a short description of the sample, interface and scientific or experimental objective.

02

Review the measurement task

The available information provides the basis for identifying the relevant scientific and measurement questions.

03

Discuss the next step

The discussion can help determine whether consultation, sample pre-testing or experimental measurements are the appropriate next step.

Consultation Request

Tell us about your measurement challenge.

A short description of the sample, interface and scientific or experimental question is sufficient as a starting point.

Not sure whether consultation, a sample pre-test or contract measurement is the right route? Describe the question here and the appropriate next step can be discussed.
