Engineering Research Equipment: An Infrared Spectrometer for the Analysis of Protein - Surface Interactions

CTS-9424392 Przybycien RPI 将购置傅里叶变换红外光谱仪，用于处理蛋白质与表面相互作用的若干项目。 处理蛋白质与表面相互作用的项目。 这些项目包括膜分离、生物污染、色谱和药物输送系统。 特别是，该设备将提供有关散装材料（包括薄膜和颗粒）的表面特性、涂层和聚合物材料的表面化学以及吸附的大分子（如蛋白质和多糖）的行为的信息。 其他项目涉及溶胶-凝胶表面和燃烧产品。 这些设备将有利于与生物技术有关的各种正在进行的项目。

CTS-9424392 Przybycien RPI A Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer will be acquired and used for several projects dealing with interactions of proteins with surfaces. The projects dealing with interactions of proteins with surfaces. The projects include membrane separations, biofouling, chromatography and drug-delivery systems. In particular, the equipment will provide information on the surface properties of bulk materials including films and particulates, the surface chemistry of coatings and polymeric materials, and the behavior of adsorbed macromolecules such as proteins and polysaccharides. Additional projects involve sol-gel surfaces and combustion products. The equipment will benefit a variety of on-going projects related to biotechnology.
