Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to methods and devices for forming and measuring lipid bilayers, for example, by joining lipid monolayers that self-assemble at the interface of aqueous and organic phases using sessile aqueous droplets in contact with a measurement electrode. At least one of the aqueous solution, the lower aqueous phase, and/or the upper organic phase comprise lipids. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for forming a lipid bilayer, comprising the steps of: a) providing a droplet electrode with a tip having at least a sessile droplet of aqueous solution; b) providing a well comprising: i) an upper organic phase, ii) a lower aqueous phase, and iii) a well electrode extending into the lower aqueous phase, wherein at least one of the aqueous solution, the lower aqueous phase, and the upper organic phase comprise lipids, and wherein the dro…
