  • Patent number: 9110056
    Abstract: A biosensor comprising surface treated with a method for producing a monolayer of molecules on a surface, the method comprising loading a stamp with seed molecules, transferring seed molecules from the stamp to the surface, wherein transferring comprises transferring a fraction of the seed molecules loaded on the stamp to the surface and adsorbing the seed molecules to the stamp and adsorbing the seed molecules to the surface, the adsorption of the seed molecules to the stamp being stronger than the adsorption of the seed molecules to the surface, self-completing amplification of the seed molecules via an amplifying reaction to produce the monolayer on a flat surface, wherein self-completing amplification comprises producing a homogeneous area, wherein the homogeneous area comprises a monolayer of molecules on the surface, and wherein the monolayer of molecules on the surface has no diffusive component that can relocate and destroy amplification accuracy.

  • Patent number: 8268563
    Abstract: A method for producing a monolayer of molecules on a surface comprises: loading a stamp with seed molecules; transferring seed molecules from the stamp to the surface; and, amplifying the seed molecules via an amplifying reaction to produce the monolayer. The method permit generation of complete monolayers from incomplete or sparse monolayers initially printed on the surface.

  • Publication number: 20060286682
    Abstract: Described is a process for producing a biomolecular monolayer on a biosensor surface comprising the steps of: reacting a biosensor surface with a solution of heterobifunctional reagent having a first functional group and a second functional group, the first functional group being capable of forming a covalent bond to the biosensor surface groups, the second functional group forming a covalent bond with a homobifunctional polymer to obtain a self-assembled monolayer, and thereafter reacting the monolayer with capture molecules.
