MAGNETIC REVERSIBLY ATTACHED TEMPLATE (MRAT) AND USES THEREFOR

摘要

The magnetic reversibly attached template (MRAT) are solid devices made of biocompatible material containing a magnetic material. These devices can be made in any shape using microfabrication, milling, and molding and can be positioned and secured using magnetic forces. The applications of the M RAT encompass the patterning of biological and non-biological materials including cells, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, aqueous solutions, polymers, rubbers, and other reagents on solid surfaces.
