Fall 2018

Nickel, Matthew R

Thin film diagnostics have been proposed as a solution to the growing need for point-of-care diagnostic tests. Diagnostics based on anodized aluminum-tantalum thin films use interference colours to detect the adsorption of protein layers on a surface. The purpose of this work was to develop a...
