The present invention recognizes that polymerizable coating films can be utilized to make chips such as biochips that include channel structures. These chips can optionally include one or more additional structures such as particles, biological groups or chemical groups. Such biochips having channel structures have a wide variety of useful applications, particularly in the field of laboratory on a chip and other applications where microfluidics are of importance. One aspect of the present invention is a platform that includes: a surface, a coating film and a channel structure. Preferably, the coating film defines in part said channel structure and more preferably the platform comprises a microchip.
本发明认识到,可聚合涂层薄膜可用于制造包括通道结构的芯片,如
生物芯片。这些芯片可以选择性地包括一个或多个附加结构,如颗粒、
生物基团或
化学基团。这种具有通道结构的
生物芯片具有多种有用的应用,特别是在片上实验室领域和微流体技术非常重要的其他应用领域。本发明的一个方面是一种平台,包括:表面、涂膜和通道结构。优选地,涂膜部分限定了所述通道结构,更优选地,平台包括一个微型芯片。
