title: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic characterization of grafting of 3-aminopropyl silanol onto aluminum/alumina substrate.
abstract: In order to remedy the limitations of state-of-the-art methods for red blood cells grouping and antibody screening we have tried to develop a new type of immunosensors based upon a metallic substrate. The first two steps of the manufacturing of such a sensor consist in the anodization and in the silanization of the metal surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) has been used to investigate aluminum samples treated with the above process. FTIR analysis allows the accurate determination of the grafted species, and thus to perform the optimization of the experimental parameters.
