COMPOSITE LIQUID CELL (CLC) SUPPORTS, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME

摘要

Composite liquid cell supports are provided. Aspects of the supports include: a plurality of CLC containers, wherein each CLC container is configured to hold a CLC and comprises a fluorophilic inner surface having a water contact angle of 80 degrees or greater. The fluorophilic inner surface may have a first contact angle with a fluorous carrier liquid which is less than a second contact angle with an encapsulating liquid that is immiscible with the carrier liquid. The supports find use in, among other applications, CLC systems and devices. Also provided are methods of preparing and using CLC arrays that include the CLC supports of the invention.
