Schematic illustration of the process for fabricating a micro-patterned assay via simultaneous microcontact printing (μCP) and degas-driven flow-guided patterning (DFGP). Step 1. Soaking of 1st molecular ink to a PDMS stamp for formation of desired 1st patterns and then conformal contacting to glass slide for μCP; Step 2. Degassing the porous PDMS stamp to remove the air; Step 3. Patterning with 2nd ink into free surface of the PDMS stamp through DFGP; and Step 4. Removal of the PDMS stamp and observation of a micropatterned array with functional molecules on the substrate.
