Abstract

A set of rules on specific material properties that effect protein adsorption and conformation to device surfaces was developed. The protein used was bovine plasma fibrinogen in a pH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline solute and the substrate used was Grade IV muscovite mica. It was observed that the bolus method, one of the methods used in the study, gave superior imaging resolution while the sample was in-situ. It was suggested that by using the fluid flow method, it was possible to obtain real time kinetic data while being able to introduce the shear effects that would be present in blood contacting devices in the circulatory system.
