Abstract
The invention relates to methods and devices for forming and measuring lipid bilayers, for example, by joining lipid monolayers that self-assemble at the interface of aqueous and organic phases using sessile aqueous droplets in contact with a measurement electrode. At least one of the aqueous solution, the lower aqueous phase, and/or the upper organic phase comprise lipids. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
