Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We made a simple method for producing multiple copies of microarray chips for the controlled release of small molecules in a cell-based screening assay. The described method enables the production of multiple copies of the chip by using an easy, rapid, and inexpensive array fabrication without any specialized devices. Moreover, screening using a miniaturized platform such as the microarray chip minimizes the consumption of cells and chemicals. Both the biodegradable material and compound injected into each channel can be individually tuned for optimized performance. We envisage that this method will be useful for developing cell-based HTS of small chemical compounds to find drug candidates.
