Publication number: 20240117418Abstract: A microarray is designed to capture one or more molecules of interest at each of a plurality of sites on a substrate. The sites comprise base pads, such as polymer base pads, that promote the attachment of the molecules at the sites. The microarray may be made by one or more patterning techniques to create a layout of base pads in a desired pattern. Further, the microarrays may include features to encourage clonality at the sites.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: M. Shane Bowen, Kevin L.
