Samhaber_Schottdorf_et_al_2016

This repository accompanies the manuscript Samhaber et al. J Neurosc Methods 2016 and is a packup for the website with the supplemental online material.

It contains detailed instructions for building a micro contact printing (μCP) machine and for using it to spatially structure neuronal cultures. Its purpose is to allow any lab without access to a lithography facility to structure cultures of neurons with the method developed in our group. You can find a detailed description as to the preparation of neuronal cultures, the protocols used, and the construction of the μCP machine including all CAD files.

The repository contains two archives.
