Biomolecule-bound substrates

A biomolecule-bound substrate comprising:

• a support made of an organic polymer and having an unmodified non-porous surface;
• and
• a plurality of unmodified biomolecules immobilized on the unmodified non-porous surface;
• wherein the organic polymer is acrylic resin, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polysulfone, polycarbonate, cellulose acetate, rubber, latex, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, acrylonitrile styrene, nylon, nitrocellulose, or a combination thereof;
• and the substrate is formed by placing the unmodified biomolecules on the unmodified non-porous surface followed by ultraviolet irradiation.

A method of preparing a biomolecule-bound substrate, comprising:

• placing a plurality of unmodified biomolecules on an unmodified surface of a support made of an organic polymer;
• and
• irradiating the unmodified biomolecules and the unmodified surface with ultraviolet light;
• wherein the organic polymer is acrylic resin, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polysulfone, polycarbonate, cellulose acetate, rubber, latex, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, acrylonitrile styrene, or a combination thereof.
