Figure 2: Principle for establishment of BLM arrays. The aqueous electrolyte solution (is filled up to the cut glass cover slip
(A) and the BFS (red) is applied from the top
(B). The aqueous electrolyte solution is then slowly applied to the cis chamber thereby raising the BFS across the 8×8 aperture partition (green) to form an array of lipid bilayers (C-D).
