Porous microwells for geometry-selective, large-scale microparticle arrays
Large-scale microparticle arrays (LSMAs) are key for material science and bioengineering applications. However, previous approaches suffer from trade-offs between scalability, precision, specificity and versatility. Here, we present a porous microwell-based approach to create large-scale microparticle arrays with complex motifs. Microparticles are guided to and pushed into microwells by fluid f...
متن کاملSelective Deposition of Proteins and Cells in Arrays of Microwells
This paper describes a method for depositing proteins and cells selectively into microwells fabricated in poly(dimethylsiloxane)san elastomeric organic polymer. The arrays of microwells were generated using soft lithography. The surface between the wells was coated with bovine serum albumin, and the surface within the wells was coated with fibronectin (FN)san adhesive extracellular matrix prote...
متن کاملFabricating large arrays of microwells with arbitrary dimensions and filling them using discontinuous dewetting.
This paper describes the fabrication of large (up to 45 cm(2)) arrays of microwells, with volumes as small as ∼3 fL/well and densities as high as 10(7) wells/cm(2). These arrays of microwells are formed by casting an elastomer, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), against "masters" prepared by photolithography; arrays of microwells in other polymers can be formed by using a master consisting of posts...
متن کاملLarge-scale porous media and wavelet transformations
heterogeneities of such porous media, whose linear sizes are typically on the order of at least a few kilometers, manifest themselves at four widely disparate length scales: • microscopic scale—at the level of pores and grains (typical sizes are up to tens of microns); • mesoscopic scale—at the level of laboratory core plugs (typical length scale on the order of a few centimeters); • macroscopi...
متن کاملLarge scale arrays of tunable microlenses.
We demonstrate a simple and robust method to produce large 2-dimensional and quasi-3-dimensional arrays of tunable liquid microlenses using a time varying external electric field as the only control parameter. With increasing frequency, the shape of the individual lensing elements (~40 μm in diameter) evolves from an oblate (lentil shaped) to a prolate (egg shaped) spheroid, thereby making the ...
