RESUMO

We have developed a method for simultaneous deposition and covalent cross-linking of oligonucleotide or PCR products on unmodified glass surfaces. By covalently conjugating an active silyl moiety onto oligonucleotides or cDNA in solutions we have generated a new class of modified nucleic acids, namely silanized nucleic acids. Such silanized molecules can be immobilized instantly onto glass surfaces after manual or automated deposition. This method provides a simple and rapid, yet very efficient, solution to the immobilization of prefabricated oligonucleotides and DNA for chip production.
