I am trying to functionalize glass surface with amine groups to immobilize proteins. I also need to incubate this surface with a strong acid (Trifluoroacetic acid) for upto 20 minutes. I have tried types and deposition of amino-silanes like aminopropylethoxy silanes, dipodal silanes etc, but fear the layer is not stable to the acid. Does anyone know about alternative methods/chemicals for amine functionalization? Any thoughts or comments is greatly appreciated Thanks Jagannath _______________________________________________ Hosted by the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange, the country's leading provider of MEMS and Nanotechnology design and fabrication services.
