Abstract:
To form a layer separating two volumes of aqueous solution, there is used an apparatus comprising elements defining a chamber, the elements including a body of non-conductive material having formed therein at least one recess opening into the chamber, the recess containing an electrode. A pre-treatment coating of a hydrophobic fluid is applied to the body across the recess. Aqueous solution, having amphiphilic molecules added thereto, is flowed across the body to cover the recess so that aqueous solution is introduced into the recess from the chamber and a layer of the amphiphilic molecules forms across the recess separating a volume of aqueous solution introduced into the recess from the remaining volume of aqueous solution.

Claim (Index 30):
An apparatus for supporting a layer separating two volumes of aqueous solution, the apparatus comprising:\n elements defining a chamber, the elements including a body of non-conductive material having formed therein at least one recess opening into the chamber; an electrode contained in the recess; a further electrode in the chamber and outside the recess; a pre-treatment coating of a hydrophobic fluid present in the recess; a volume of aqueous solution in the recess; and a layer of amphiphilic molecules, extending across the opening of the recess, separating the volume of aqueous solution in the recess from an aqueous solution comprising amphiphilic molecules that covers the recess.
