Definitions
- Nanowell substrates used in industrial processes may involve a complex process that includes surface functionalization of a microfluidic device such as, for example, a flow cell that houses or otherwise contains the nanowell substrates.
- a particularly difficult aspect of nanowell substrate fabrication involves removing existing surface chemistry found in interstitial areas between nanowells by polishing these interstitial spaces. Problematic issues associated with this type of surface preparation include over polishing, under polishing, and scratching or damaging of patterned surfaces. Accordingly, there is a need for method for fabricating nanowell substrates that does not suffer from the aforementioned complexities and difficulties.
- Implementations of the described system and methods have the benefits of enabling spatially resolved chemical patterning of nanometer scaled features within microfluidic devices such as flow cells and improving nanowell substrate fabrication by eliminating the polishing step completely.
- Described methods utilize planar waveguides or similar devices to spatially control chemical functionalization of specific, predetermined areas of each nanowell substrate fabricated into a flow cell. Nanowell substrates are patterned into microfluidic flow cell devices using known flow cell fabrication processes.
- the planar waveguide directs excitation light into only the bottom of each nanowell substrate where it photoinitiates a chemical reaction that covalently binds a target reactant to the bottom region of the nanowell substrate.
- a first method for patterning flow cell substrates is provided.
- This method comprises preparing a flow cell for a photoinitiated chemical reaction, wherein the flow cell includes a substrate having light coupling gratings formed thereon; a first layer of material disposed over the substrate; a second layer of material disposed over the first layer of material; and nanowells formed in the second layer of material, wherein each nanowell includes a top portion and a bottom portion, and wherein preparing the flow cell includes silanizing the second layer of material; and coating the silanized second layer of material and nano wells with a first group of reactants; introducing a second group of reactants into the nano wells, wherein the second group of reactants includes at least one target reactant, a copper chelated ligand, and a light- sensitive photoinitiator system; and directing light internally within the flow cell through the light coupling gratings to only the bottom portion of each nanowell for photo-initiating a chemical reaction between the first and second groups of reactants, wherein the photo-initiated chemical reaction covalently
