Abstract
Substrates for producing a DNA library are produced by immobilizing DNA onto a suitable substrate having excellent thermal conductivity. A surface of the substrate is chemically modified with a radical having a terminal polar radical. DNA can be amplified by the PCR method in a short period of time using substrates of the present invention onto which DNA is immobilized.

Solid state substrate adapted and configured for DNA immobilization, said solid state substrate having a thermal conductivity ratio of at least 0.1 W/cmEK suitable for amplifying and immobilizing DNA, wherein the surface of the substrate is modified by a polar radical formed at the surface of the substrate by binding a chloride by irradiating the surface of the substrate with ultraviolet light in an atmosphere of chlorine gas to bind chloride to the substrate, and replacing the chloride by binding a carboxyl radical to the substrate by setting the substrate into a solution containing a sodium sebacate, wherein the sebacyl radical is introduced to the substrate using a titanium or an aluminum coupling agent.
A solid state substrate having DNA immobilized thereon, wherein said substrate is diamond or diamond like carbon and said substrate is chemically modified by binding a chloride by irradiating the substrate with ultraviolet light in a chlorine gas atmosphere, and then replacing the chloride with a hydroxyl radial by setting the substrate into a boiling alkali solution or steam, or an amino radical by irradiating the substrate with ultraviolet light in an atmosphere ammonia gas, or a sebacyl radical by setting the substrate into a solution containing sodium sebacate and coupling the sebacyl with a titanium or aluminum coupling agent.
A chip for amplifying and immobilizing DNA wherein the surface of the chip is modified by binding a chloride by irradiating the chip with ultraviolet light in an atmosphere of chlorine gas, and replacing the chloride by a hydroxyl radical by setting the chip into a boiling alkali solution or steam, or an amino-radical by irradiating the chip with ultraviolet light in an atmosphere of ammonia gas, or a sebacyl by setting the chip into a solution containing sodium sebacate and coupling the sebacyl radical with an aluminum or titanium coupling agent.
