It would be best to find a collaborator who is expert in the area or
plan on spending a lot of time (the analysis is relatively simple but
since it involves model fitting it needs very good data and obtaining a
good data set will take a lot of time and effort). The developer of the
ULTRASCAN software package Bories Demeler at UT San Antonio has a couple
of 2-3 day courses on the software package etc. that is offered once or
twice a year. The other developers (Peter Schuck) offer similar courses
a few times a year though sometimes they are targeted at more advanced
users. If you cannot make it for one of these courses contacting them
may put you in contact with a suitable euro labs.
