In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

Presently, only indirect methods exist to monitor protein contamination of polymeric contact lens surfaces. This study, based on a fiber optic sensor, proposes a new quantitative and dynamic measurement technique to address this problem. Comparative contamination studies on three representative proteins: γ globulin, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (molecular weight 240,000, 60,000 and 45,000), using a new tensiographic method, have been developed for a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) substrate.
