OXIDATION OF PYROLYTIC CARBON

本研究旨在确定人类单核/巨噬细胞 热解碳(PYC)的培养会使表面氧化。氧化 通过多种方法获得热解碳，以及 表面分析方法被用来比较表面因此 在细胞黏附研究后观察到的那些 已执行。SIMS已被证明是最有用的技术 对准备好的表面进行表征，并确定如何 在清除粘附物方面取得了成功的各种清洁策略 蛋白质和细胞，这是后续样品分析所必需的。

This study aims to determine whether human monocytes/macrophages culturedon pyrolytic carbon (PYC) can oxidize the surface. Oxidation of the pyrolitic carbon is achieved by a number of methods, and surface analytical methods are employed to compare the surfaces so obtained to those observed after cell adhesion studies have been performed. SIMS has proven to be the most useful technique to characterize the prepared surface as well as to determine how successful various cleaning strategies are in removing adherent proteins and cells, which is necessary for subsequent sample analysis.
