Abstract

A method and apparatus that imprints protein binding membranes with predetermined patterns, determined by (a) a pattern cut in a porous foam, or (b) a circular pattern achieved by contacting a drop of protein containing solution. The apparatus and process are particularly well adapted to forming the active surface for devices that detect antigens with antibodies.
