PDMS bonding

Sorry I'm late. I forgot to check my SyBBURE inbox before today.

Topic: PDMS bonding techniques

Learned: Variety of considerations for manufacturing PDMS- experiment designed to optimize bonding strategy

Questions: When is the microwave bonder going to work in our microfab room?
are there many strategies for bonding not addressed in the paper?

Topics: scale-up considerations for PDMS manufacturing

Microcontact Printing of Proteins by Andre Bernard

1) I learned that this technique of microprinting of proteins has the advantage of being able to process large bioactive surfaces in one run and with arbitrary patterns.

2) What are some specific examples of where this process was used and how much better it was compared to standard techniques?

3) The importance of Microcontact Printing in modern research

So I have no idea if I'm doing this right but here is my attempt at posting my pcr:



1.) Learned about Microcontact printing of Proteins and the advantages of this technique over previous methods.
2.) This might be a dumb question, but what exactly does printing proteins on subtrates do, how do they work, like in the applications mentioned in the introduction?
3.) Application of microcontact printing in a more specified bioassay

Hey guys sorry I didn't post this at the same time as sending out the email.
the link is to the find it at VU page:

Sorry I can't get the link to work right but if you copy and paste it'll take you there. So I also can't figure out how to fully delete my other post, any suggestions?

Again 10-11 for pcr, I'd love you guys.
