Patent number: 9759842Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides a nanoaperture having a bottom surface and a side wall comprising gold. A surface of the side wall is passivated with a first functional molecule comprising polyethylene glycol. The bottom surface of the nanoaperture can be functionalized with at least one second molecule comprising polyethylene glycol, for example, a silane-PEG molecule. The second molecule can further include a moiety, such as biotin, which is capable of binding a target biomolecule, which in turn can bind to a biomolecule of interest for single molecule fluorescence imaging analysis. Fabrication techniques of the nanoaperture are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2014Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: THE TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORKInventors: Colin Kinz-Thompson, Ruben L. Gonzalez, Jr., James C. Hone, Matteo Palma, Alexander Alexeevich Godarenko, Daniel Alexandre Chenet, Samuel J. Wind

Publication number: 20130294972Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides a zero-mode waveguide (ZMW) including a substrate and at least one nano-well thereon and having a bottom surface and a side wall comprising gold. A surface of the side wall is passivated with a first functional molecule comprising polyethylene glycol. The bottom surface of the nano-well can be functionalized with at least one second molecule comprising polyethylene glycol, for example, a silane-PEG molecule. The second molecule can further include a moiety, such as biotin, which is capable of binding a target biomolecule, which in turn can bind to a biomolecule of interest for single molecule fluorescence imaging analysis. Fabrication techniques of the ZMW are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventors: Colin Kinz-Thompson, Ruben L. Gonzalez, JR., James C.

Patent number: 8418547Abstract: Force, pressure, or stiffness measurement or calibration can be provided, such as by using a graphene or other sheet membrane, which can provide a specified number of monolayers suspended over a substantially circular well. In an example, the apparatus can include a substrate, including a substantially circular well. A deformable sheet membrane can be suspended over the well. The membrane can be configured to include a specified integer number of one or more monolayers. A storage medium can comprise accompanying information about the suspended membrane or the substrate that, with a deflection displacement response of the suspended membrane to an applied force or pressure, provides a measurement of the applied force or pressure.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New YorkInventors: Jeffrey William Kysar, James C. Hone, Changgu Lee, Xiaoding Wei
