ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for making a molecularly smooth surface, preferably on an electrode of an assay chip. This is desirable because it allows molecules, preferably oligonucloetides, to attach to the electrode surface with greater reliability and packing density than was previously available. Such attachment of molecules to an electrode surface is of particular interest in the field of electrochemical genetic analysis.
