Micromolding for the fabrication of biological microarrays.
The PRINT(®) (pattern replication in non-wetting templates) process has been developed as a simple, gentle way to pattern films or generate discrete particles in arrays out of either pure biological materials or biomolecules encapsulated within polymeric materials. Patterned films and particle arrays can be fabricated in a wide array of sizes and shapes using Fluorocur(®) (a UV-curable perfluoropolyether polymer) from the nanometer to micron scale.
