Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma-Based Surface Modification of Polystyrene Microtiter Plates for Covalent Immobilization of Biomolecules

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the plasma treatment followed by silane derivatization supports direct, covalent immobilization of biomolecules on microtiter plates and thus overcomes challenging issues typically associated with simple physisorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Power supply and impedance matching to drive technological radio-frequency plasmas with customized voltage waveforms

TL;DR: A comparison with the reference case of an electrically asymmetric dual-frequency discharge reveals that the control range of the mean ion energy can be significantly enlarged by using more than two consecutive harmonics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Physicochemical Anomalies of Soda-Lime Silicate Slides on Biomolecule Immobilization

TL;DR: It is shown that recent changes in the chemical and physical properties of commercial soda-lime slides affect the ability of these slides to be covalently modified, and a correlation between magnesium content, surface roughness, and bioimmobilization efficiency is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of Ar metastable atom densities in Ar and Ar/H 2 inductively coupled low-temperature plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, a model combining electrical probe measurements of electron density (Ne) and temperature (Te), with analysis of spectrally resolved Ar plasma optical emission based on 3p − 1s optical emission ratios of the 419.8 -nm line to the 420.1-nm line was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental investigations of electron heating dynamics and ion energy distributions in capacitive discharges driven by customized voltage waveforms

TL;DR: In this article, phase-resolved optical emission spectroscopy (PROES) was used to study the spatio-temporal electron heating dynamics in an argon discharge driven by up to three consecutive harmonics of 13.56 MHz with individually adjustable harmonics' amplitudes and phases.
