Abstract
Practical utility of surface spectroscopy in biomaterials is viewed from an abstract analytical science perspective in which the desired target information is compared to that obtained through spectroscopic probes. Through a five step reasoning process it is concluded that much of the information obtained by surface spectroscopy is not directly relevant to biomaterial end-use properties. A context is proposed to make more effective use of the indirect, but still very useful, analytical information derived from surface spectroscopy in biomaterials research.
