Basic Information
Scope
This document provides guidance on the processing, mounting, and surface treatment of biological material samples prior to surface chemical analysis. Its purpose is to help analysts understand the conditions required for special sample processing using the following techniques during analysis: — X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA); — Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS); — Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The proposed methods are also applicable to other techniques sensitive to surface composition analysis, such as: — Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR); — Total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF); — Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). This document discusses the impact of the vacuum conditions used, the contamination issues before and after detection, and the problems related to contamination during detection. The biological materials here include hard and soft materials, such as metals, ceramics, scaffolds, and polymers. This document does not include living biological materials such as cells, tissues, and organisms. Other related topics not covered in this document include sample preparation for electron microscopy or optical microscopy.
