In natural world various inorganic crystals are grown with controlled shape and size in hybrid forms with organics. Such natural processes have been attempted much to mimick artificially. One of the example is calcium carbonate which has been examined a lot in the field of biomineralization. In this study, we utilize well-organized surface of polydiacetylene(PDA) films as the crystal-growing template. We devised a novel mini-arrayer device that transfers PDA films at air/water interfaces of each array well and deposit them to hydrophobized glass substrates. This technical improvement will contribute to facilitate better understandings of biomineralization mechanism.
