  • Functionalized surfaces and methods related thereto
    Patent number: 9759842
    Abstract: 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: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2017
    Assignee: THE TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK

  • ZERO-MODE WAVEGUIDE FOR SINGLE BIOMOLECULE FLUORESCENCE IMAGING
    Publication number: 20130294972
    Abstract: 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.
