Abstract

Abstract : We report a biomimetic surface chemistry to modify plastic substrates for point-of-care nucleic acid extraction. Abstract : We herein report a biomimetic technique to modify plastic substrates for bioassays. The method first places a polydopamine adhesion layer to plastic surface, and then grows conformal silica coating. As proof of principle, we coated plastic microbeads to construct a disposable filter for point-of-care nucleic acid extraction.
