The invention relates to a device useful in diagnostics in which a biochemical species is attached to the surface of a sensor, especiallyto the gate of field effecttransistor. In such a "BIOCHEMFET" it has been a problem to attach two or more biochemical species to the surface of the sensor, especially to the gates of a multi-gated FET. It has now been found possible to bond a group having a photoactivatable function covalently to the sensor surface, photo-expose the resultant modified surface selectively, e.g. through a mask, and bond the biochemical species, e.g. a hapten, antigen, antibody, lectin or enzyme, to the photoactivated function. In this way the biochemical species becomes attached in selected areas only. In view of the success of this technique realised under conditions of miniaturisation, the invention makes possible "printed circuits for proteins".
The invention includes the device, process of manufacture thereo, use for diagnostic purposes and a diagnostic kit of the device and a partner capable of binding tothe biochemical species.
本发明涉及一种用于诊断的装置,在这种装置中,生化物质被附着在传感器的表面,特别是场效应晶体管的栅极上。在这种 "生物化学场效应晶体管 "中,将两种或两种以上的生化物质附着在传感器表面,特别是附着在多门场效应晶体管的栅极上一直是个问题。现在,我们发现可以将具有光活化功能的基团共价键合到传感器表面,有选择性地(例如通过掩膜)对修饰后的表面进行光曝光,然后将生化物质(例如合生元、抗原、抗体、凝集素或酶)键合到光活化功能上。这样,生化物质只附着在选定的区域。鉴于这项技术在微型化条件下取得的成功,本发明使 "蛋白质印刷电路 "成为可能。
本发明包括装置、制造工艺、诊断用途以及由装置和能与生化物质结合的伴侣组成的诊断套件。
