  • Substances can be detected or neutralized by means of a biologically active arrangement.
  • Bioly active arrangements consisting of support materials and organic compounds applied thereto / immobilized, in particular biologically active substances, are of outstanding importance in today's biotechnology and so-called life sciences.
  • Purpose of such carriers which are usually formed on the basis of non-water-soluble inorganic or organic polymers, is quite generally the local fixation or immobilization and the accumulation or concentration of biologically active substances, for example.
  • Detection molecules or pharmaceuticals As a result, surfaces are also created that can be used for a wide variety of applications, for example as detection systems or as pharmaceutical suppliers.
  • biochips and functionalized microparticles which can specifically recognize and bind target structures at the molecular level are state of the art.
  • a biochip is generally a rigid support on the surface of which biologically or chemically active substances, in particular molecules, are immobilized, usually by electrostatic, hydrophobic, hydrophilic and / or covalent binding to the surface molecules of the support.
  • the object of the immobilized biologically or chemically active substances is that they allow the association of bioactive substances from a sample, eg a test solution, with which they are brought into contact.
  • bioactive substances can also be made visible from a solution if they interact or associate with the immobilized biologically active substances, for example peptides, proteins or DNA.
  • a biochip is usually made up of three components:
  • Purpose of the immobilized biologically active substance or substances is then the specific attraction and / or accumulation of bioactive substances or test substances from a test medium, which then on the support surface, usually by a physically active label, e.g. with a dye or a radioactive isotope, or with the aid of a dye- or an enzyme-labeled probe, for example a primer or an antibody, are detectable.
  • a physically active label e.g. with a dye or a radioactive isotope
  • a dye- or an enzyme-labeled probe for example a primer or an antibody
  • the prior art is in particular carriers of glass or plastic, which are coated with a bonding layer of metal or with a bonding layer of surface-bound organic molecules, which allows the immobilization of proteins, peptides, or oligonucleotides on the surface or in the vicinity of the surface.
  • the bonding layer is necessary since the conventional support materials, for example glass or plastic, under normal conditions are hardly chemically reactive or inert and therefore do not permit direct and permanent attachment of the biologically active substance in solution.
  • the coating of the carrier with the bonding layer by a in the Usually complex chemical process, such as a silanization of glass, in which the support surface is covalently coated with molecules, which then allow the immobilization of biologically active substances in a subsequent step.
  • Carriers for the production of so-called 1D biochips generally have a bonding layer of surface molecules with free reactive groups, for example amino, epoxy, aldehyde or maleimide groups. It is also possible, for example, to attach or apply elements, e.g. of gold, for subsequent immobilization.
  • a biologically active substance for example a protein receptor
  • the substance can covalently bind to the functionalized (eg glass) surface via a chemical reaction if the receptor has a suitable chemically functional group which reacts with a free reactive group of molecules of the attachment layer and can form a covalent bond.
  • the bonding layer is additionally provided with a crosslinker or a polypeptide is attached in order subsequently to immobilize the desired biologically active substance specifically.
  • Supports for the production of 2D or 3D biochips have an attachment layer of covalently bound surface molecules, often lipids, longer alkane derivatives, or organic polymers, e.g. formed as hydrogel, which is a mostly non-covalent immobilization of biologically active substances, e.g. of receptors via hydrophobic and / or electrostatic interaction.

  • a disadvantage of the prior art is quite generally that the common carriers are first metallized or wet-chemically functionalized with the binding layer which requires labor-intensive and time-consuming steps, eg reaction and washing steps. If, for example, a glass chip or particle is to be silanized for subsequent attachment of peptides or proteins, it is placed in a vessel containing a silanization solution for several hours, which is agitated by stirring, shaking or ultrasound, then washed and dried in an oven. The movement of the molecules in solution is important, inter alia, in order to achieve a uniform bonding layer on the support surface in the chemical reaction between the support and the dissolved molecules, for example alkoxysilane or chlorosilanes.
  • the use of special glass substrate eg quartz glass for high temperature resistance or low impurities, is often required due to the conditions in the production of the bonding layer.
  • a polymerized layer or polymer layer for example of (nitro) cellulose, PVDF or a hydrogel requires expert skill and is expensive.
  • the bonding layer thus prepared is often chemically sensitive and requires a special storage of the carrier, for example under vacuum or inert gas.
  • a disadvantage of the common support materials is further that their surface properties are only partially suitable for many applications.
  • the common carrier material glass for example, is a solidified melt with a rough surface, which can have a detrimental effect on a uniform connection layer and directional connection, for example of microarrays.
  • a microarray is a carrier material on which a large number of biochemical detections or tests are located on the narrowest, usually only fingernail-sized, space. But also biochips with only a few spatially fixed immobilized tests are known and used in practice, for example so-called "low density" biochips. The tests consist of many locally addressed, mostly in circular “spots" on the surface, bound molecules or larger biological components (eg cell organelles or cells).
  • DNA molecules or proteins are selected which can associate specifically with substances from a test solution, the bound substances being subsequently made visible on the surface.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif et son utilisation pour déterminer de manière spécifique des substances d'échantillons, notamment une biopuce comprenant un support sur lequel se trouve une couche de liaison. Le dispositif comporte un support sur lequel est formée une couche de liaison à laquelle est couplée une substance de contrôle. Le support est semi-conducteur et la couche de liaison est au moins une couche d'isolation inorganique formée sur le support. Sur et/ou dans la couche d'isolation, au moins une zone est soumise à l'action d'au moins un milieu et d'au moins une substance de contrôle organique. Dans cette zone, la couche d'isolation est couplée à la substance de contrôle, laquelle peut interagir avec une substance d'essai. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de réalisation de ce dispositif, selon lequel au moins une zone d'une couche d'isolation inorganique formée sur un support est soumise à l'action d'au moins un milieu et d'au moins une substance de contrôle organique, et des interactions entre la substance de contrôle organique et la couche d'isolation inorganique provoque un couplage entre la substance de contrôle organique et la couche d'isolation inorganique, ladite zone étant formée pour interagir avec une substance d'essai et/ou interagissant avec cette substance d'essai lorsqu'elle est appliquée.
