New process for lipid nanopatterning
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...
Baltfab has a Cell culture laboratory
A new cell culture laboratory now is set up at BALTFAB, as a part of the ongoing METASENS project led by Dr. Ramūnas Valiokas. The project will enable BALTFAB developing new services in the nano-bio domain, complementary to our surface molecular texturing abilities provided by micro-contact printing, piezoelectric ink-jet printing, dip...
Microfluidic Channels made by laser ablation
UV picosecond lasers are a good alternative to excimer lasers for polymer processing, as 266 nm UV radiation produces better micro-machining quality and extends the number of polymers that can be processed by a laser. We formed microfluidic channels in Nylon polyamide and acetal polymers, as well as etched holes in fiberglass and...
Protein-Protein Interactions in Reversibly Assembled Nanopatterns
Proteins binding kinetics is measured to understand …. Proteins are deposited on surface using DPN regime and …. Image shows: Contact AFM of biotin-disulfide lines on gold . (Scratches are due to SF10 glass polishing in the manufacturing process) Link: https://doi.org/10.1021/nl801892m
