Metal coating of bacteria for impact ionisation mass spectrometry
The ability of impact ionisation mass spectrometers to recognise bacteria biosignatures in grains encountered in space is currently an exciting research topic. To simulate such processes in the laboratory requires the ability to accelerate bacteria to hypervelocities in an electrostatic accelerator, which in turn requires metal coating the bacteria. The aim of this project is to produce silver coated bacteria for such experiments. The project will suit an independent candidate with laboratory experience.
