  • Nanostructures morphologic characterization by TEM, SEM, AFM and MFM.

  • Structural and reflectivity characterization by X-ray diffraction.

  • Electric and magnetic characterization of nanostructures.

  • Fluorescence quenching, UV-Vis and FTIR analysis.

  • Surface modification and functionalization of nanoparticles.

  • Animal cell culture and biomembranes synthesis, biomolecular detection, manipulation, separation and magnetic fluidic hyperthermia.
