Treatment of Protein Using Oxygen Plasma Produced by RF Discharge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Removal of proteins from the surface of medical equipments are attempted using oxygen plasma produced by RF discharge. FTIR spectra indicate that the bonds of C-H and N-H in the casein protein are reduced after irradiation of oxygen plasma. Also, the second order structure of a protein such as α-helix and β-sheet are modified by the oxygen plasma. Complete removal of protein as remnants on the medical equipments requires several hours avoiding the damage to medical equipments.

Abstract: In this paper, a DRIE process for fabricating MEMS silicon trenches with a depth of more than 250 m is described. The DRIE was produced in oxygen-added sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) plasma, with sample cooling to cryogenic temperature using a Plasmalab System 100 ICP 180 at different RF powers. A series of experiments were performed to determine the etch rate and selectivity of the some m...
