Abstract:
Embodiments of the present application relate to patterned polymer sheets and processes to prepare the same for sequencing applications. In particular, flexible micro- and nano-patterned polymer sheets are prepared and used as a template surface in sequencing reaction and new polish-free methods of forming isolated hydrogel plugs in nanowells are described.

Claim (Index 10):
A process for preparing a substrate surface for sequencing applications, comprising:\n providing a polymer sheet comprising a first plurality of functional groups; contacting said polymer sheet with a surface of a substrate, wherein said surface comprises a second plurality of functional groups; covalently bonding the first plurality of functional groups of the polymer sheet to the second plurality of functional groups of the surface.
