Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The microwell array pattern of the HL-Chip was drawn with AutoCAD software and printed out as glass photomask by Photo Sciences. Mold bearing microwell arrays were fabricated by modified soft photolithography. Briefly, negative photoresists (SU-8 3025, MicroChem) were spin-coated (500 rpm for 10 s and 1,000 rpm–3,000 rpm for 60 s) onto a clean silicon wafer (Silicon Quest International) to form a uniform 20–50 μm film. After baking at 65°C for 3 min and then 95°C for 5 min, the wafer was cooled and exposed to UV light through the glass photomask for 4–10 s. Next, the wafer was baked at 65°C for 3–5 min and then again at 95°C for 8–14 min. The wafer was developed in a SU-8 developer for 4 min and flushed with fresh developer three to four times. The patterned wafer was thoroughly solidified by baking at 135°C for 30 min. Then, the wafer was treated with trimethylchlorosilane (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. A 10:1 (w/w) mixture of PDMS and curing agent (Sylgard 184, Dow Corning) was poured onto the wafer and heated at 70 C for 1 h. Finally, the cured PDMS sheet was cut and peeled off the wafer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
