Summary

Multivalent cations in suspension retard cell adhesion to surfaces. Higher cation concentration increases adhesion time, while higher ionic strength decreases it, impacting cell adhesion dynamics.

Main Results:

Multivalent cations were found to retard cell adhesion.
Adhesion time increased with multivalent cation concentration at fixed ionic strength.
Adhesion time decreased with increasing Hamaker constant magnitude.
Adhesion time decreased with increasing ionic strength for a fixed cation concentration.

Conclusions:

Multivalent cations significantly influence cell adhesion kinetics.
Hamaker constant effects are more pronounced at high ionic strength and cation concentrations.
The findings provide insights into cell-surface interactions in complex media.
