ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a method for attaching pre-synthesized oligonucleotides to a polypropylene support medium. Most preferably, a polypropylene film is aminated by a plasma discharge in the presence of ammonia gas. An oligonucleotide having a terminal phosphate is activated in the presence of an imidazole and a carbodiimide to form a phosphorimidazolide. The activated oligonucleotide becomes immobilized by forming a phosphoramidate bond with the aminated polypropylene. The invention can be used to construct oligonucleotide arrays for hybridization assays.
