title: A microcontact printing approach to the immobilization of oligonucleotide brushes.
abstract: Solution hybridized oligonucleotides were immobilized onto surfaces via micro-contact printing. Besides micro-patterning of the substrate, sequential dehybridization and rehybridization were monitored via laser scanning microscopy, which assess the surface tethering of the oligonucleotides into a brush.
