Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method for making a solid substrate for conducting biological and chemical assays and to the solid substrate made by the method.
Claims26
A method of making a substrate for biological analysis comprising:
- (i) providing a substrate that has a surface comprising an epoxy-based resin and
- (ii) contacting a biomolecule probe with the substrate that has a surface comprising an epoxy-based resin so that the biomolecule probe bonds directly to the epoxy-based resin;
- wherein the substrate that has a surface comprising an epoxy-based resin is washed with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) before the biomolecule probe is contacted with the substrate that has a surface comprising an epoxy-based resin.
