Figure 8.

Normalized fluorescent intensity of Alexa-Fluor 488-labeled myoglobin and hemoglobin bound to APTES (left), anti-myoglobin (center), and anti-hemoglobin immobilized on SiC (right) with their respective controls. The results are expressed as the sample distribution of the mean ($\overline{x}$) and standard error of the mean (σM), and normalized to the positive control experiments in each test. + denotes p-values < 0.05 with respect to the antibody immobilized control and ++ denotes p-values < 0.05 with respect to the surface after APTES modification [19].
