摘要:
A structured substrate is described which is suitable for forming and hosting a crystal array, as well as associated methods for making and using such a structured substrate. The structured substrate is made by injection molding and has on one side a combination of macro- and micro-structured features. Each macro-structured feature comprises an edge that forms a perimeter around an enclosed area containing a large number of the micro-structured features. When a droplet of a solution containing molecules of interest and a solvent is deposited onto one of the enclosed areas such that it extends somewhat beyond the perimeter, the droplet slowly dries and shrinks through evaporation of the solvent, during which the edge acts to seed crystallization of the molecules, and the micro-structured features act to direct crystal growth from the seed into the enclosed area. The crystal thus forms over the whole of the enclosed area in a shape that conforms to the perimeter. Crystals of a desired size and shape can therefore be formed.

A method for copy protection in which an audiovisual or audio data is divided into a plurality of portions. The plurality of portions is at least partly scrambled and prepared so as to be stored on a record carrier in the scrambled order. This is done so that a physical position on the record carrier, e.g., a sector of the record carrier, where a respective portions of the divided data is stored depends on the scrambled order.

摘要:
A microfluidic device comprising in sequence first, second and third layers of plastics materials. A microfluidic circuit including a laterally extending microfluidic channel is formed at the interface between the first and second layers by surface structure in one or both of the first and second layers. A via is formed in the third layer for supplying or removing fluid to or from the microfluidic circuit. A conduit is formed in the second layer to provide fluid communication between the microfluidic channel and the via. A weld is formed at the interface between the second and third layers in a continuous closed path around the via and forms a fluid-tight seal for fluid flow between the via and the microfluidic circuit.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a microfluidic or microtiter device, the method comprises fabricating, by a single compression injection molding operation, a microfluidic or microtiter device having one or more indentations, in which a base thickness of the one or more indentations is less than 400 μm. In embodiments, the fabricating step comprises: forming a mold cavity; filling the mold cavity with molten material; closing the mold cavity; and driving one or more molding formations complementary to the one or more indentations into the mold cavity.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a batch of sample containers optimized for culturing particular animal cells or binding particular proteins under particular growth conditions. When a customer requires a batch of sample containers, an appropriate surface is first selected by a testing process. A test container is provided which has a surface subdivided into a plurality of test areas, for example in a two-dimensional square array. Each test area has a pre-defined combination of surface properties including a micro- or nano-structure and these properties are varied from test area to test area. The animal cells or protein of interest are then tested under the particular conditions to be used. The test area that provides the ‘best’ conditions is then selected. The manufacture of a production batch of containers is then carried out, wherein the test areas in the production batch all copy the ‘best’ surface structure selected in the test.
