Long-term adsorption of fetal bovine serum on H/O-terminated diamond studied in situ by atomic force microscopy

Abstract

The adhesion of proteins from fetal bovine serum was investigated by AFM after 10 min and 6 days of adsorption. The different thickness of protein layer was found on H and O-terminated diamonds as well as different strength of protein adhesion.
