Extract

The technologies of nanofabrication as applied to inorganic materials and substrates are advanced and continue to develop. These sophisticated processes enable the formation of complex electronic, optical and mechanical devices with feature sizes down to tens of nanometers. Adaptation of these types of processes to surface chemical patterning and topographical patterning provides a new set of experimental tools for investigating biological systems and realizing sensors and devices that require the interaction of biological systems and fluids with inorganic materials and surfaces.

In this talk we discuss methods of pattering self assembled monolayers, proteins and antibodies on silicon and glass surfaces by lithography and microcontact printing. This is of utility in a variety of experiments in cell-surface interactions and in sensor devices. In certain types of devices the manipulation of fluids and sieving of molecules is a critical function such as in DNA sequencing6 by electrophoretic separation.
