Abstract
An automated process for modifying the surface of pancreatic islets grows uniform polyelectrolyte multilayer thin films, eliminating user variability associated with previous manual methods. Machine vision feedback allows for tight control of small fluid volumes, maintaining an islet microenvironment. This process is adaptable to other fragile micrometer-scale particle systems.
