Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a direct-write scanning probe lithography in which an atomic force microscopy probe is used to deliver ink materials on various substrates. The transporting of large sized ink materials such as bacteria, however, remains a significant challenge with this technique. We have developed a straightforward “stamp-on” DPN method that uses a nano structured poly (2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-coated tip and carrier agents to generate patterns of micrometer-sized bacterial cells. In this study, we demonstrate how one can pattern bacterial cells on the substrate and how patterned cells can be grown on a various condition. |
