Abstract
The invention provides a substrate for biopolymer hybridization, a biopolymer hybridization device, and a biopolymer hybridization method capable of: speeding up hybridization of a biopolymer, by means of dielectrophoresis or electrophoresis by applying an alternating voltage or a direct voltage to a planar electrode, so as to generate an electric field; and reading the hybridized biopolymer by means of a laser or the like.
Claims11
A micro-array substrate for a biopolymer, wherein a pair of two conduction paths connected to a direct-current or alternating-current source are installed on the substrate, in a part of a conduction path pattern is arranged the two conduction paths in proximity to each other to a degree such that an electric field distribution between the conduction paths becomes locally stronger, and probe molecules for biopolymer detection are immobilized on the conduction paths or close to its proximity part.
