Abstract
A method of preparing a discrete polymer network array include mixing a plurality of nucleic acid polymer networks with a plurality of color-activated polymer networks to form a dispersion, applying the dispersion to an array of wells, the nucleic acid polymer networks selectively depositing into wells of the array of wells, and rinsing the array of wells to selectively remove the plurality of color-activated polymer networks.
Claims10
A method of forming a color-activated polymer network, the method comprising:
- preparing a hydrogel discrete polymer network to include halide or amine terminal groups;
- reacting the hydrogel discrete polymer network with a dye having amine, hydrizide, or N-hydroxysuccinimide functionality;
- rinsing excess dye from the color-activated polymer network;
- mixing a plurality of nucleic acid polymer networks with a plurality of the color-activated polymer network to form a dispersion;
- applying the dispersion to an array of wells, the nucleic acid polymer networks selectively depositing into wells of the array of wells;
- and
- rinsing the array of wells to selectively remove the plurality of the color-activated polymer network.
