HYDROGEL MICROARRAY WITH EMBEDDED METAL NANOPARTICLES

摘要

A method of creating a metal nanoparticle hydrogel biological array comprises placing a plurality of metal nanoparticles in each of a plurality of wells (302) on a substrate (301) and placing a biomolecular probe material into the plurality of wells (302). Hydrogel precursors are placed in each of the plurality of wells (302), and are polymerized to form hydrogel such that the metal nanoparticles are embedded in the hydrogel (303)
