Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides crosslinked epoxy-functional copolymer films and microarrays built from the crosslinked epoxy-functional copolymer films. Microarrays incorporating the copolymers include a substrate on which a film of the crosslinked epoxy-functional copolymer is disposed and target molecules bound to the copolymer film. The crosslinked polymer films are well-suited for use as scaffolds for target molecules in microarrays because they provide a high density of binding sites for the target molecules, are mechanically stable, and may be coated onto a wide range of substrates.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A microarray comprising: (a) a substrate; and (b) a copolymer film disposed on the substrate, the copolymer film comprising a first set of polymerized monomers bearing an epoxy group reacted with a target molecule and a second set of polymerized photocrosslinked 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl 2-methylacrylate monomers; wherein the copolymer film has a thickness of no more than about 100 nm and further wherein the thickness of the copolymer film is reduced by no mo…
