Patent number: 9110056Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sergey Amontov, Emmanuel Delamarche, Bruno Michel
