摘要:
A substrate for biochips with which immobilization is easy, which does not exhibit self-fluorescence, which is easy to manufacture, and which is excellent in flatness and surface precision, is disclosed. A substrate having a substrate body of the biochip, which is made of a metal, and a carbon layer having functional groups formed on the metal substrate body is used as a substrate for biochips. Since the substrate body of the substrate for biochips is made of a metal, the substrate is not only easy to manufacture, but also free from cracking and chipping, so that it allows easy handling, and high flatness and surface precision can be attained. Therefore, the problem that the optical system is hard to focus when detecting fluorescence does not occur. Moreover, since the substrate body is made of a metal, it does not emit fluorescence by itself. In addition, since the carbon layer has functional groups such as amino groups, biologically relevant substances can be easily immobilized.
摘要:
A substrate for biochips which has a high probe loading amounts and a uniform immobilization density, and which further has a high detection sensitivity and a high reproducibility by preventing a non-specific adsorption of proteins, when used as a substrate for biochips for immobilizing probes composed of biologically relevant substances such as proteins and nucleic acids, is disclosed. Amino groups can be bound to the surface of the substrate uniformly, at a high density and stably by covalently immobilizing an amino group-containing polymer on the surface of the substrate. The probe immobilization rate is high and immobilizing density was uniform by immobilizing a probe composed of a biologically relevant substance such as a protein or nucleic acid by utilizing the amino groups. Further, detection sensitivity and reproducibility are high by inhibiting non-specific adsorption of proteins.

A substrate for biochips with which spots are not diffused and cross-contamination due to contacts between adjacent spots does not occur, as well as a biochip using the substrate, is disclosed. A substrate for biochips with which spots are not diffused and cross-contamination due to contacts between adjacent spots does not occur, by forming a plurality of recesses for immobilizing biologically relevant substances, as well as a biochip using the substrate, was provided. It was discovered also that the desired binding of target molecules in a test sample occurs at a detectable level in solution systems even if the volume of each recess is extremely small as small as 1 nL to 10 nL.

Means for overcoming the problems which the conventional glass microchannel chips have are disclosed. That is, a microchannel chip in which microchannels can be formed at a low cost, and which has a high chemical resistance is disclosed. The microchannel chip is constituted by a substrate made of carbon, which has a channel in its surface; and a cover composed of a glass plate bonded to the substrate. The cover is bonded to the substrate by heating at least a part of the contact surface at which the substrate is in contact with the cover.
