The construction of a laminar-flow cell for neutron reflection studies

The characteristic time scale of adsorption has an important contribution to the history of adsorbed protein layers. Control over this time scale is achieved by designing a measuring cell with well-defined laminar liquid flow in parallel plate geometry to be used on a neutron reflectometer. Results obtained from adsorption experiments with lysozyme clearly show that there is an effect of adsorption time scales on the properties of adsorbed layers.
