Our ongoing effort is directed toward understanding the influence of an applied electric field on the adsorption kinetics of various protein/solvent/surface systems. Using Optical Waveguide Light mode Spectroscopy (OWLS), we are able to follow the time evolution of an adsorbed protein layer in the presence of an external electric field. Kinetic data, such as this, is useful in elucidating and quantifying the mechanisms of the adsorption process.
