Description
Summary:We describe the performance of a new glass attachment chemistry for arrays that is particularly well suited to attachment of small molecules, such as peptides. The attachment chemistry is a protected isocyanate (PI) group. Isocyanate groups are well suited to serving as a glass coating for arrays, in that they are highly reactive with many different types of biological compounds. However, they are generally so reactive as to be unstable. The new feature of the PI slide coating is its stability. It can withstand immersion in water without loss of reactivity and has at least a 1-year shelf life. The high reactivity of the PI group results in a rapid coupling reaction (
