AI Article Synopsis
- Biofouling in microfluidic devices can restrict the variety of samples processed due to unwanted biomolecule adhesion.
- This study explores using graphene oxide (GO) for its strong ability to adsorb proteins, helping to reduce biofouling.
- The approach aims to maintain protein activity while improving the effectiveness of droplet-based lab-on-chip technologies.
Article Abstract
Biofouling or adsorption of biomolecules onto surfaces in microfluidic devices limits the type of samples which can be handled. In this paper, we take advantage of the high adsorption capacity of graphene oxide (GO) for proteins as a strategy to limit biofouling, while preserving their activity for droplet-based lab-on-chip applications.
