A method for forming a hydration layer/lipid bilayer structure on a solid support is provided. The method includes contacting a solution comprising at least one polar lipid and a water-miscible alcohol as a solvent with the solid support; and adding water to said solution at a predetermined rate, thus inducing formation of a hydration layer on the solid support surface and formation of a planar lipid bilayer on the hydration layer, wherein the hydration layer has an average thickness of at least 2 nm as well as the thus obtained solid supports with a hydration layer/lipid bilayer structure.
