Abstract
A new method for the fabrication of arrays of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkane thiols (ATs) on gold to combinatorially assay surfaces for cell adhesion is reported. A fluorous SAM, which is both cytophobic and solvophobic, was used as the background between the array features. The resulting solvophobic background permits the application of an assembly after conjugation strategy for fabrication. SAMs containing mixtures of ATs and peptide-terminated ATs were generated. Multiple cell types demonstrated differential and specific binding to these surfaces. Additionally, pluripotent human embryonic stem cells proliferated on surfaces generated by this method.
