membranes show great potential as support structures for biointerfaces. In this paper, we present a technique for fabricating nanoporousalumina membranes under constant-flow conditions in a microfluidic environment. This approach allows the direct integration of the fabrication process into a microfluidic
monitored by impedance spectroscopy across the nanoporousalumina membrane in real-time. Our approach offers a simple and efficient methodology to investigate the activity of transmembrane proteins or ion diffusion across membrane bilayers.
