Abstract

Sol-gel derived silane hybrid films composing of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane–tetramethoxysilane (APTMS-TMOS) have been shown to have properties that make the films suitable for DNA microarray applications. The ability of the films to bind DNA was studied using aminated 25-mer oligonucleotide DNA and 1, 4-phenylenediisothiocyanate linker. The binding of DNA onto the films was shown to depend on films' composition i.e. the binding rate decreased with the decrease of APTMS content in the film. The arrayed primer extension (APEX) analysis showed reversed tendency – fluorescence signals of bound probes increased with the decrease of APTMS content in the film. The background noise was low and the fluorescent probes were clearly outlined. The density of functional amino groups on the films was estimated by fluorescence spectroscopy.
