We have developed a straightforward method for creating large-area, microscale resolution patterns of functional amines on self-assembled monolayers. The technique utilizes flat elastomeric stamp enriched with photoacid and HD-DVD optical pickup to locally deprotect the N-Boc groups and form chemical patterns with resolution below 10µm. Further details can be found...

We have employed direct laser writing technique to fabricated large-scale (5 × 5 mm²) gold gratings which generate hybrid lattice plasmon polaritons in the Vis-NIR range. The key element of each grating is a hollow gold microbump that is formed by exposing a thin gold coating with a tightly focused...

Recently, we have introduced an efficient protocol for UV-controlled photochemical synthesis of stable PEG hydrogel coatings on glass substrates. They proved advantageous for fabrication of protein patterns, especially as cell-adhesive microfeatures for single-cell analysis, as well as for spatially controlled culture. We have demonstrated that the hydrogel-based architectures on glass...

Baltfab researchers have developed an atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanning technique which enables AFM imaging of large areas at unprecedented (up to 45 mm/s)  scanning speed. More information and the link to the paper can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b07547

BALTFAB scientists have published a paper on scanning probe-based printing of nanoscopic lipid phases. The process is based on fast transfer (up to 100 µm/s) of lipids, including those bearing functional groups, from the probe onto substrates with controlled hydrophilicity. The process allows obtaining lipid assemblies ranging from sub-monolayers to...
