Our paper “Highly Specific Binding on Antifouling Zwitterionic Polymer-Coated Microbeads as Measured by Flow Cytometry“, describing work by Esther van Andel and Ian de Bus, has been published (as ASAP) in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. The paper describes the preparation of magnetic micron-sized beads coated with zwitterionic sulfobetaine polymer brushes that display strong antifouling characteristics. These coated beads can then be equipped with recognition elements of choice, to enable the specific binding of target molecules.
