Abstract

Diffusion-limited patterning (DLP) is a new technique that enables patterning of labile molecular species in solution phase onto surfaces that are not easily accessible. This technique is self-aligning and is simple to implement for patterning multiple species. We demonstrated DLP by patterning alternating bands of fluorescently labeled and unlabeled streptavidin in biotin-functionalized nanofluidic channels with spatial resolution better than 1 μm. The methodology of DLP also enables experimental measurement of a unique parameter that relates molecular surface grafting density, concentration, diffusivity, and channel geometry.
