Shaped apertures in photoresist films enhance the lifetime and mechanical stability of suspended lipid bilayers

Planar lipid bilayers suspended in apertures provide a controlled environment for ion channel studies. However, short lifetimes and poor mechanical stability of suspended bilayers limit the experimental throughput of bilayer electrophysiology experiments. Although bilayers are more stable in smaller...
