Embodiment Construction
[0036] In preliminary studies, the present inventors have found that self-assembled monolayers (SAM) formed from oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-derived alkanethiol compounds or mixtures of these compounds with alkanethiol compounds without OEG Shows high non-specific binding. Results from cyclic voltammetry analysis were poor, indicating unfavorable packing density and poor surface coverage, thus a high probability of unwanted and non-specific binding of the sample to the gold surface / damaged SAM. This result suggests that SAM alkanethiol-OEG-containing surfaces are not suitable for high-sensitivity applications.
[0037] The present invention provides a novel sensor surface in which the capture molecules will be tightly bound to the sensor surface without binding to any matrix molecules to minimize baseline drift. The capture molecules are bound directly to the alkanethiol SAM layer (or via a linker on the SAM), not via PEG or OEG or any other hydrophilic or protein resistant ...
