Methods for Making Probe Arrays Utilizing Deformed Templates - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17390835 titled 'Methods for Making Probe Arrays Utilizing Deformed Templates
Simplified Explanation
The invention described in the abstract involves probe array formation embodiments that allow for the simultaneous formation of many probes of an array or subarray while in an array configuration. This is achieved through the creation and deformation of array formation templates that include holes or openings for depositing probe material.
- Formation of probe arrays or subarrays involves simultaneous creation of multiple probes in an array configuration.
- Array formation templates are used, which include holes or openings for depositing probe material.
- Openings in the templates can be fully formed prior to deformation or latently formed through chemical or structural changes.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in:
- DNA microarray analysis
- Protein-protein interaction studies
- Drug discovery research
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Increasing efficiency in probe array formation

Original Abstract Submitted
Probe array formation embodiments of the invention (e.g., that are used to form full arrays or multi-probe subarrays that are to be assembled into full arrays) provide simultaneous formation of many probes of an array or subarray while the probes are in an array configuration. These embodiments provide for the creation and deformation of array formation templates that include holes or openings for depositing probe material wherein the openings are either fully formed (i.e. fully actualized) prior to deformation or are latently formed by chemical or structural changes to the template material
