Microarray Slides/Surfaces

molecular diagnostics

Surmodics TRIDIA™ surface coatings optimize DNA, RNA, protein, and cell attachment for molecular diagnostic and immunoassay applications, reducing non-specific background and improving sensitivity. These versatile coatings bind molecules to a variety of surfaces and geometries and may be customized for selectivity using passivating polymers and reactive groups.

Dna oligonucleotide binding to microarray slide surfaces

TRIDIA™ NHS and TRIDIA™ HD surfaces have superior binding compared to other microarray surfaces. They bind amine-modified oligos, DNA or RNA.

Common applications: DNA arrays, SNP analysis and array CGH

graph details

Biotinylated oligonucleotide was attached either through a 5’amine group or hydroxyl group depending on the surface tested. Streptavidin-Cy5 was used for detection and quantification of oligo bound to surface.

TRIDIA™ slides (formerly CodeLink® slides) and coatings immobilize biological entities to surface materials.

  • Reactive chemistry is homogeneous across entire surface for high signal and consistent results
  • Passivating polymer increases sensitivity by preventing non-specific binding of unwanted biomolecules
  • Thin, versatile photochemistry allows coating of various geometries and surface materials

Analysis of Troponin on a Protein Microarray

Lower backgrounds and better sensitivity with TRIDIA™ EP and TRIDIA™ BA Surfaces. The TRIDIA™ slide displays more distinct spots with consistently low background across the slide.
