SPR Tips: 3 Ways To Limit Mass Transfer Effects In Kinetic Data
In surface plasmon resonance, the reactant in a solution must first diffuse from the bulk to the surface to interact with the immobilized ligand. If the diffusion rate is slower than the association rate, mass transfer effects can be observed in the data. Mass transfer limitations are most common for fast binding reactions, as diffusion […]
