We investigate lateral organization of lipid domains in vesicles versus supported membranes and monolayers. The lipid mixtures used are predominantly DOPC/DPPC/Chol and DOPC/BSM/Chol, which have been previously shown to produce coexisting liquid phases in vesicles and monolayers. In a monolayer at an air-water interface, these lipids have miscibility transition pressures of 
12–15 mN/m, which can rise to 32 mN/m if the monolayer is exposed to air. Lipid monolayers can be transferred by Langmuir-Schäfer deposition onto either silanized glass or existing Langmuir-Blodgett supported monolayers. Micron-scale domains are present in the transferred lipids only if they were present in the original monolayer before deposition. This result is valid for transfers at 32 mN/m and also at lower pressures. Domains transferred to glass supports differ from liquid domains in vesicles because they are static, do not align in registration across leaflets, and do not reappear after temperature is cycled. Similar static domains are found for vesicles ruptured onto glass surfaces. Although supported membranes on glass capture some aspects of vesicles in equilibrium (e.g., gel-liquid transition temperatures and diffusion rates of individual lipids), the collective behavior of lipids in large liquid domains is poorly reproduced.
