  • Evaporative edge lithography of a liposomal drug microarray for cell migration assays
    Patent number: 9995732
    Abstract: Lipid multilayer structures are formed by evaporating a solvent from each of a plurality of lipid solutions thereby form the lipid multilayer structures. Each lipid solution comprises the solvent and one or more lipids. Each lipid multilayer structure is a microstructure comprising one or more lipids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2018
    Assignee: FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.
    Inventors: Steven Lenhert, Nicholas Vafai
  • EVAPORATIVE EDGE LITHOGRAPHY OF A MICROARRAY
    Publication number: 20150011427
    Abstract: Patterned material depositions are formed on a surface of a substrate following filling each of one or more dispersions between each of spaces bounded by a stencil or a pair of patterned barriers on the surface of the substrate. Each dispersion comprises at least one liquid continuous medium and at least one dispersed material. Each patterned material deposition encompasses at least one dispersed material and is formed by evaporating the liquid continuous medium from the dispersion. Patterned material depositions may have multilayer structures. Systems include methods and device.
