Proteins tend to passively adsorb to surfaces. Read about how protein adsorption at various surface and solution conditions quickly can be measured.
Read about how molecule-surface interaction processes such as adsorption and desorption can be analyzed with QCM-D.
Proteins are vital for life and perform a wide range of essential biochemical tasks in all living organisms. It is important that the proteins are correctly folded and functional. However, sometimes the control mechanisms fail and accumulated aggregates transform into protein megastructures.
Blood-material interactions are critical for performance and biocompatibility of implantable medical devices used in thousands of patients daily.
