One of the most popular methods to fabricate biomedical microfluidic devices is by using a
soft-lithography technique. However, the fabrication of the moulds to produce microfluidic …

▪ Abstract Soft lithography, a set of techniques for microfabrication, is based on printing and
molding using elastomeric stamps with the patterns of interest in bas-relief. As a technique …

This protocol provides an introduction to soft lithography—a collection of techniques based
on printing, molding and embossing with an elastomeric stamp. Soft lithography provides …

▪ Abstract Since its inception just over a half century ago, the field of biomaterials has seen a
consistent growth with a steady introduction of new ideas and productive branches. This …

“Nanofabrication” is the process of making functional structures with arbitrary patterns
having minimum dimensions currently defined (more-or-less arbitrarily) to be e100 nm …

Microfluidic systems have shown unequivocal performance improvements over conventional
bench-top assays across a range of performance metrics. For example, specific advances …

This review describes the pattering of proteins and cells using a non-photolithographic
microfabrication technology, which we callsoft lithography'because it consists of a set of …

Patterning of controllable surface wettability has attracted wide scientific attention due to its
importance in both fundamental research and practical applications. In particular, it is crucial …

In this review we describe fundamentals of scanning near-field optical microscopy with
aperture probes. After the discussion of instrumentation and probe fabrication, aspects of …

The ability to produce patterns of single or multiple cells through precise surface
engineering of cell culture substrates has promoted the development of cellular bioassays …
