Abstract
Patterned SAM arrays and methods of preparing patterned SAM arrays are disclosed. Advantageously, the methods used to prepare the patterned SAM arrays allow for controlling SAM spot-to-spot conditions such as ligand identity and ligand density, which allows for preparing a wide range of SAM spots in a single array format. Additionally, the patterned SAM arrays of the present disclosure support the culture of a range of cell types. The patterned SAM arrays offer the ability to rapidly screen substrate components for influencing cell attachment, spreading, proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
