| abstract |
The invention relates to a sol-gel process for the functionalisation of a surface of a solid substrate in order to provide said surface with chemical functions that can react with chemical or biological molecules, i.e. chemical functions that can immobilise, attach, graft biological or chemical molecules. The invention can be used, for example, in the preparation of chemical and biological sensors, such as for the production of chips comprising DNA, oligonucleotides, sugars, peptides and small organic molecules. |
