Problems solved by technology

To form a hydrophobic region divided into a plurality of array regions, printing or chemical treatment is used, but to fix the hydrophobic region thus formed on a substrate, a high temperature of several hundreds of degrees is required and the substrate is immersed in a predetermined liquid to become a probe. Biological substances such as nucleic acids and proteins and surface treatment of needles may deteriorate

Embodiment 1

[0133] Examples are given below to describe the present invention in detail. In this example, the uniformity of the substrate surface treatment coating was compared when the surface was coated after the chemical operation (imparting water resistance by printing) and when the separator sheet was adhered after the surface coating. The comparison method is to calculate the coefficient of variation (CV: (standard deviation / average value) × 100 (%)) of the fluorescence intensity obtained by hybridization between the three substrates on each column along the partition wall, and determine the distance at which the CV is stable. The size of the effective area ratio of hybridization evaluates the coating uniformity. The hybridization effective area ratio was defined as (area of ​​the array region capable of obtaining stable CV / design area of ​​the array region)×100(%).

[0134] First, on a poly-L-lysine-coated glass substrate, as shown in FIG. 8 , 99 kinds of mouse-derived cDNAs were ...

Embodiment 2

[0144] This example is an example of confirming the effect of the depth of the array region on the fluorescence intensity of the hybridization result. For the separator sheet prepared in Example 1, adjust the type of surface waterproof treatment agent and the thickness of the double-sided adhesive layer and / or the thickness of the single-sided adhesive layer, with two kinds of water resistance (the contact angle of water is 70 ° and 110 ° ) to prepare separator sheets of various thicknesses. Except for using such a spacer sheet, the nucleic acid probe array of Example was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, hybridization was performed, and fluorescence intensity was measured and digitized. The result is shown in Figure 12.

[0145] As can be seen from FIG. 12 , the depth of the array region (also the thickness of the spacer sheet) changes sharply in the fluorescence intensity around 250 μm. From this result, it can be seen that the depth of the array region is prefe...

Embodiment 3

[0147] This example is an example of confirming the effect of the water repellency of the hydrophobic region on the partition wall of the separator sheet on the fluorescence intensity of the hybridization result. For the separator sheets prepared in Examples, the type of surface treatment of the acrylic layer and the like were adjusted to prepare separator sheets having various water repellency (water contact angle). Except for using separator sheets with different water repellency, the same operations as in Example 1 were used to prepare the nucleic acid probe array of the example, perform hybridization, measure the fluorescence intensity, and digitize it. The results are shown in Figure 13.

[0148] As can be seen from FIG. 13 , the fluorescence intensity changes rapidly when the contact angle of water is about 60° to 70°. From these results, it can be seen that the water resistance of the separator sheet preferably has a water contact angle of 60° or more, more preferably ...

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a probe array having partitioned array regions with uniform surface chemical properties. The probe array of the present invention includes a substrate having a plurality of partitioned array regions where many probes are immobilized and a separator attached to the substrate and including partitions partitioning the array regions. The above object can be achieved by attaching the separator including the partitions capable of partitioning instead of forming hydrophobic regions on a surface of the substrate by printing or chemical treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a probe array in which probes are held in an array and a method for producing the same, and more specifically relates to a probe array having a plurality of array regions, a spacer for partitioning the probe array, a method for producing the probe array, and nucleic acid hybridization method etc. Background technique [0002] In general DNA microarrays using glass substrates, attempts are being made to form multiple array regions (each array region is a probe immobilization region for immobilizing multiple probes) on each substrate to simultaneously process multiple analytes . Hybridization is performed by placing a single cover glass on a glass substrate having multiple array areas, and in this method, there is a problem that reaction solutions (solutions containing target substances) in adjacent array areas mix with each other. Therefore, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-65274 discloses i...
