  • Patent number: 6951682
    Abstract: Articles comprising substantially uniform porous coatings, which may be photopatterned, are provided. The use of such porous coatings increases the surface density of attached compounds within, for example, ligand arrays prepared by methods such as regionally selective solid-phase chemical synthesis. Arrays prepared using the porous coatings may be used within a variety of diagnostic and drug discovery assays.

  • Patent number: 6569598
    Abstract: Photoresist compositions and methods are provided for preparing photoresist films that are stable and impermeable to a broad range of organic solvents. Photoresist films provided herein may be photopatterned by selectively applying light, and may be stripped from a surface using unreactive agents. Photopatterned films may be used, for example, to selectively direct organic reagents to a solid support for the purpose of performing regionally selective solid-phase chemical synthesis with micron-scale resolution.

  • Patent number: 6159681
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for performing regional analysis of biologic materials. The methods provided herein employ a photoresist layer that is established over a biologic material (which may be immobilized on a substrate). Regions of interest are selected and irradiated to expose specific regions of biologic material. Exposed biologic material may then be selectively analyzed using any of a variety of analytic methods.
