Mesoporous Permeation Layers for Use on Active Electronic Matrix Devices
First Claim
1. A method for forming a permeation layer on an array of microelectrodes comprising the steps of:
- attaching a linker to the array of microelectrodes;
providing a polymerization solution comprising a porogen;
contacting the surface of the array with the polymerization solution;
polymerizing the polymerization solution on the surface of the array to form a permeation layer, wherein the permeation layer is attached to the surface of the array through the linker; and
removing the porogen from the permeation layer, thereby creating void spaces in the permeation layer.

Abstract
The present invention provides improved synthetic polymer hydrogel permeation layers for use on active electronic matrix devices for biological assays. The present invention includes methods for forming a permeation layer on an array of microelectrodes including the steps of attaching a linker to the surface of the array and providing a polymerization solution that includes a porogen. The surface of the array is then contacted with the polymerization solution and the polymerization solution is then polymerized on the surface of the array to form a permeation layer that is attached o the surface of the array through the linker. The porogen is then removed from the permeation layer, thereby creating void spaces in the permeation layer.
