Abstract
An intermediate composite capable of transferring a biological or chemical material to be patterned on a surface. The intermediate composite includes a hydrogel, and particles suspended in the hydrogel, generating a particle-gel composite (composite), the composite is configured to absorb a biological or chemical material (agent), and further configured to deposit the agent when the composite is positioned proximate to a surface on which the agent is to be deposited.
Claims10
A method of depositing biomolecules or chemical material on a surface, the method comprising:
- suspending spores in a hydrogel, generating a hydrogel-spore composite (first composite);
- embedding biomolecule or chemical material (agent) into the first composite thereby allowing absorption of the agent by the spores generating a second composite;
- and
- micro-manipulating the second composite proximate to a surface resulting in deposition of the agent on the surface.
