Abstract

In this paper, the combination of the excellent bulk properties of a segmented polyurethane and the excellent surface properties of a RF plasma polymer for the immobilization of a bioactive molecule is discussed. Specifically, glucose oxidase (GOx) has been covalently immobilized to poly(etherurethaneurea) (PEUU) films which were first modified with RF plasma polymerized N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (PPNVP). The results of the RIA and the immunochemical stain indicated that washes based on published procedures were inadequate in removing physically adsorbed GOx from the surfaces of PEUU and PPNVP/PEUU controls. The only wash which was effective consisted of continuous magnetic stirring in 900 ml of 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 2% Triton X-100, and 20 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.0) for 20-24 hrs. each at 5°C.
