Target practice: Antibody‐coated nanotubes can selectively attach to antigen‐containing trenches (see image) that are written by an AFM tip on a surface. The attachment depends on the concentration of the antigen in the trenches and can be tuned by using spacer molecules. It is shown that maximum filling is achieved (nearly 100 %) when the concentration of antigen is diluted to 7 % with inert spacer molecules.
