- XPS (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)
- SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry), both Time of Flight and Dynamic
- Optical Microscopy
- Dynamic Contact Angle
- Video Microscopy

As well as making the necessary recommendations as a result of characterisation activities, Portal Medical will provide materials and manufacturing solutions.
