Abstract: Objective To study two amine modification procedures for DNA microarray preparation based on polymeric coatings. Methods One of the proposed approaches utilized poly-amine coating of silanized slides activated by 1,4-phenylene diisothiocyanate,and the other employed acrylic acid-co-acrylamide copolymer and 1-(3-dimethylamino propyl)-3-ethylcar- bodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide as the coating agents and activator,respectively.The modified slides were used for preparing λ phage DNA microarrays,whose properties were analyzed by hybridization. Results Formation of dendri- meric structure and polymer was observed on the surface of the slides.The signal spots in uniform,steady and regular shape,in comparison with the commercial CMT-GAPS slides,indicated successful manufacture of the microarrays. Conclusion The two platforms are suitable for microarray preparation,and the method of acrylic acid-co-acrylamide copolymer modification is more preferred.
