Surface Chemistry of Glass Slides
EMSL Project ID
38498
Abstract
Glass slides are being used within flow cell devices for the isolation of DNA and RNA by a company called Blood Cell Storage. Nucleotides are captured onto the surfaces using high salt conditions and then they are eluted under low salt conditions. The performance of the flow cell devices has been variable depending on the lot of glass slides obtained commercially. This project involves performing studies under the Technological Assistance Program (TAP) at PNNL in order to determine if there are any glass surface properties that might correlate to the performance of the devices.
