Patent number: 8492315Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming one or more biological-binding areas on a substrate for biological-testing. The method includes activating at least a portion of a glass-ceramic substrate comprising glass and one or more metal containing compounds. The one or more metal containing compounds have a range of diameters that are less than about 300 nanometers in diameter and are spaced an average distance of at least one-half the midpoint of the diameter range apart. The one or more metals include compounds selected from metal oxides, metal nanoparticles, metal alloys, and atomic metals. The glass-ceramic substrate is heated to a temperature near the glass transformation temperature to form one or more metal nanoparticles in one or more ceramic biological-binding areas. The glass-ceramic substrate is etched to expose one or more metal.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Life Bioscience, Inc.Inventors: Jeb H. Flemming, Colin T. Buckley, Carrie Schmidt

Patent number: 8361333Abstract: This invention provides an inexpensive and rapid method for fabricating a high-anisotropic-etch ratio, shaped glass structures using a novel photosensitive glass composition. Structures of the photosensitive glass may include micro-channels, micro-optics, microposts, or arrays of hollow micro-needles. Furthermore, such shaped glass structures can be used to form a negative mold for casting the shape in other materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Life Bioscience, Inc.Inventors: Jeb H. Flemming, Colin T. Buckley, Carrie Schmidt
