Hydrophobic Sensor

The SPR Affinity Sensor -Hydrophobic- is composed of long-chain octadecanethiol molecules directly attached to the gold surface that form a flat hydrophobic layer. It is designed to facilitate liposome mediated hydrophobic adsorption that supports the formation of a polar lipid monolayer with the hydrophilic head groups directed out toward the solution. This sensor type provides a surface suitable to study membrane associated interactions.
