Disclosed are spatially addressed arrays of discreet fluid lipid bilayers prepared by flexible patterning methods that faciliate the compartmentalization of lipid membranes and aqueous solutions disposed thereon into discreet, spatially addressable, microarray partitions onto specific and , discreet locations of a substantially planar solid support. This process can either be used either in parallel or sequentially to pattern thousands of distinct membranes on a single "biochip" and to assay pluralities of selected , analyte components contacted with the discreet lipid bilayer compartments for one or more target molecules. Also provided are biochip microarray systems and methods for …

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 18, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 18, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 18, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
