Abstract

In this paper, four kinds of biocompatible SAMs are used to improve adhesion property and fluorescence reaction property on specimen surfaces. The result of experiment shows that OTS film demonstrates contact angles are all larger than 100 degrees in different immersing time and it reveal the best hydrophobic property after 24 hours. The declination angle experiment demonstrates that the OTS film has best flowing property and same trend of friction coefficient; it indicates that the declination angle experiment can reveal the degree of microchannel adhesion property better than contact angle experiment. It can be found that the OTS film can reduce the number of protein adherence on the surface of microchannel in protein concentration examination to raise examination accuracy. Using fluorescence signal, therefore the fluorescence values will increases.
