SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSEMBLING A LIPID BILAYER ON A SUBSTANTIALLY PLANAR SOLID SURFACE

摘要

Techniques for assembling a lipid bilayer on a substantially planar solid surface are described herein. In one example, a lipid material such as a lipid suspension is deposited on a substantially planar solid surface, a bubble filled with fast diffusing gas molecules is formed on the solid surface, and the gas molecules are allowed to diffuse out of the bubble to form a lipid bilayer on the solid surface.

1. A method of assembling a lipid bilayer on a substantially planar solid surface including:
depositing a lipid material adjacent the solid surface; forming a bubble filled with fast diffusing gas molecules on the solid surface; allowing the gas molecules to diffuse out of the bubble to form a lipid bilayer on the solid surface.
