Multivariate analysis of 3D ToF-SIMS images: method validation and application to cultured neuronal networks (2015)
Journal Article
Van Nuffel, S., Parmenter, C. D., Scurr, D. J., Russell, N. A., & Zelzer, M. (in press). Multivariate analysis of 3D ToF-SIMS images: method validation and application to cultured neuronal networks. Analyst, 141(1), https://doi.org/10.1039/c5an01743b

Advanced data analysis tools are crucial for the application of ToF-SIMS analysis to biological samples. Here, we demonstrate that by using a training set approach principal components analysis (PCA) can be performed on large 3D ToF-SIMS images of ne...

3D chemical characterization of frozen hydrated hydrogels using ToF-SIMS with argon cluster sputter depth profiling (2015)
Journal Article
Taylor, M., Scurr, D., Lutolf, M., Buttery, L. D., Zelzer, M., & Alexander, M. R. (2015). 3D chemical characterization of frozen hydrated hydrogels using ToF-SIMS with argon cluster sputter depth profiling. Biointerphases, 11(2), Article 02A301. https://doi.org/10.1116/1.4928209

Hydrogels have been used extensively in bioengineering as artificial cell culture supports. Investigation of the interrelationship between cellular response to the hydrogel and its chemistry ideally requires methods that allow characterization withou...
