Abstract
The present invention relates to a kind of plastic slide with chemically treated surface for fixing protein, peptide or small molecule compound in the surface to prepare biochip. The present invention provides one kind polystyrene plastic slide with treated surface for fixing oligonucleotide or polynucleotide on its surface to prepare DNA chip.
Description
The application is dividing an application of the former application number of submitting on February 1st, 2002 application for a patent for invention that is 02103446.X.
(1) technical field
The relevant a kind of surperficial treated plastic slide that is used to make biochip of the present invention.
(2) background technology
Glass slide has been widely used in useing as the base material of making DNA chip and protein chip.Yet glass slide has shown some shortcomings on the base material of useing biochip as so far.At first, glass slide itself is frangible, and upward needs handled in operation.The surface of glass slide not The book of Changes chemical treatment in the hope of fixed biologically micromolecular compound successfully (such as, the metabolite of plant or herbal medicine) to this treated surface to reach direct bonded purpose.Glass slide also produces unnecessary high background signal, and may disturb with after the analysis of the biochip that marker is handled.Therefore, this Technology Need is developed novel material or develops can be easy to modify or the material of upgrading is useed the base material of biochip as to replace glass material.
