μContactPrinter Systems for Microcontact Printing and NIL

GESIM μContactPrinter Basics Fully automatic GESIM μContactPrinter 4.1 The Making of Micro- and Nanostructures… Few simple methods exist to print tiny structures. One of them, microarray spotting (e. g. with the GESIM Nano-Plotter) generates structures around 100 μm. Microcontact printing (μCP) can work on the nanoscale: PDMS (silicone) is molded on a structured master; the resulting stamp is soaked in sample, dried, and pressed onto the surface, transferring molecules from the protruding areas. Chemicals, biomolecules, nanoparticles, beads, and cells can be printed, which is why μCP is getting...
