United
States
A negative relief of PDMS
was formed by curing a
prepolymer on a salinized
Si master having a positive
relief of the capillary
channels formed in
photoresist on its surface
Selective
treatment of
cells
This study
demonstrates the
use of different
types of cells
adjacent to each
other, the
patterned delivery
of chemicals to
adhered cells, as
well as performing
enzymatic
reactions over
select cells or over
a portion of a cell
