Process and spotting solution for preparing microarrays

摘要

A process is proposed for preparing a microarray including a multiplicity of analytical positions or spots and arranged on a support. The spots include probe molecules and a polymer which has been solidified to give a film. A spot is generated by applying an initially flowable spotting solution to the support, which solution includes a polymer and probe molecules, the polymer being solidified after application to the support. A spotting solution is further proposed which includes, in aqueous solution, probe molecules and a polymer which can be solidified in a non-free radical manner.
