    Abstract

    We demonstrate a new grade of non-covalent heparin surface that adds efficient anticoagulant property to the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) material. The surface modification is a simple and fast one-step process performed at neutral pH, optimal when working with closed microsystems. The heparin formed a uniform and functional coating on hydrophobic PDMS. evaluated with fluorophore labeled antithrombin. In addition, long- Term studies revealed that the immobilized heparin was more or less stable in microchannels over a time of three weeks.
