Synchrotrondiffraction studies on solid-supported membranes in a microfluidicenvironment — •Bert Nickel1, Christian Reich1, Marion Hochrein1, Bärbel Krause2 und Joachim Rädler1 — 1Ludwig Maximilians Universität, München — 2ESRF, Grenoble
We have developed a microfluidic flow chamber allowing for synchrotron diffraction studies of solid supported membranes at the solid liquid interface using x-ray energies of 20 keV. We demonstrate the potential of the method by comparing three standart preparation methods of lipid bilayers: (a) vesicle fusion, (b) solvent exchange, and (c) spin-coating. A complementary characterization of the solid supported lipid bilayer using fluorescence microscopy is possible.
