Protein pattern transfer for biosensor applications

Volcke, C., Gandhiraman, R.P., Basabe-Desmonts, L., Iacono, M., Gubala, V., Cecchet, F., Cafolla, A.A., Williams, D.E. (2009) Protein pattern transfer for biosensor applications. Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 25 (6). pp. 1295-1300. ISSN 0956-5663. (doi:10.1016/j.bios.2009.10.016) (KAR id:45242)

Abstract

This paper presents a very simple, industrially scalable method for transferring a high-resolution, biologically active protein pattern from one substrate to another. We demonstrate the transfer of a protein pattern formed initially by microcontact printing from a silicon surface (to which this form of printing is applicable) onto a glass or polymer substrate, almost independently of the surface/bulk properties of the second substrate. A very thin, spin-coated layer of a sugar is used to preserve the structure and organization of proteins during the subsequent plasma deposition of a siloxane polymer, after which the protein pattern could simply be peeled off the silicon substrate and glued onto any other desired substrate. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
