Recycling and reusing patterned self-assembled monolayers for cell culture.
Patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been widely utilized for the study of cellular growth and behavior. While microcontact printing is a straightforward method of producing patterned substrates, the process is time consuming and requires the use of many techniques and specialized equipment. Here we present a method by which patterned substrates can be reused up to 15 times, saving both time and valuable resources.
