RSC Biomaterials Chemistry Special Interest Group

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Biomaterials Chemistry Special Interest Group is a community for those working in biomaterial synthesis and characterisation, both academic and industrial. The aim of the group is to enhance the understanding of the chemistry underlying  biomaterials applications such as prostheses, drug delivery and regenerative medicine.

The group meets annually to promote biomaterials chemistry research and development, enhance existing links, form new collaborations and share expertise. Meetings provide the opportunity to present new work, discuss data and help shape the future of research biomaterials chemistry.

Visit Blue Scientific

Come to our stand to find out about element analysis and mapping with micro-XRF and how they can unlock a wealth of information for biomaterials chemistry. Discuss your application with our specialists and find out more.

As presented at our recent micro-XRF workshop, the Tissue Regeneration And Interface Lab (TRAIL) at the University of Birmingham, where the meeting is being held, are using micro-XRF for biomedical and regenerative medicine research. In particular, in the area of bone and bone regeneration, they are using micro-XRF to generate high resolution maps of pathological bone in muscle tissue and scarring in tissue sections.

Blue Scientific is the exclusive UK distributor of micro-XRF instuments from Bruker – view the full range here.
