- We introduce a novel technique for the controlled spreading and mixing of lipid monolayers from multilamellar precursors on surfaces covered by the hydrophobic epoxy resin SU-8. The lipid spreads as a monolayer as a result of the high surface tension between SU-8 and the aqueous environment. A micropatterned device with SU-8 lanes, injection pads, and mixing regions, surrounded by hydrophilic Au, was constructed to allow handling of lipid films and to achieve their mixing at controlled stoichiometry. Our findings offer a new approach to dynamic surface functionalization and decoration as well as surface-based catalysis and self-assembly.

- We introduce a rapid, simple one-step procedure for the high-yield immobilization of cholesteryl- tetraethyleneglycol-modified oligonucleotides ( chol- DNA) at hydrophobic sites made of SU-8 photoresist. Topographic structures of SU-8 were microfabricated on microscope glass coverslips sputtered with a Ti/Au layer. Upon application, chol-DNA adsorbed to the SU-8 structures from solution, leaving the surrounding gold surface free of chol- DNA. chol-DNA immobilization is complete within 15 min and yields a surface coverage in the range of 20- 95 pmol/ cm(2), which corresponds to a film density of 10(12)- 10(13) molecules/cm(2). chol-DNA immobilization is stable and can be sustained despite rinsing, drying, dry storage for several hours, and rehydration of chips. Furthermore, complementary DNA in solution hybridizes efficiently to immobilized chol-DNA.
