Characterization of an inexpensive, nontoxic, and highly sensitive microarray substrate

Abstract
An agarose film has been proposed as an efficient substrate for producing microarrays. The original film preparation procedure was simplified significantly by grafting the agarose layer directly on... Surface Effects The most common DNA microarray substrate is glass, often chemically modified to allow increased DNA binding capacity. Dendrimeric linkers, as well as polyacrylamide and agarose, hav...
