Abstract
Disclosed is a method of attaching, indirectly, a member of a specific binding pair (or sbp) to a surface, the method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting the surface with a solution, preferably an aqueous solution, of a polymer, having side chains according to the formula X-Y-Z-R, wherein X is a spacer group; Y is a sulphur, selenium or tellurium atom; Z is a sulphur, selenium or tellurium atom, any of which may be bonded to one or two oxygen atoms; and wherein R is any suitable moiety such that -Z-R constitutes a leaving group; such that at least some of the -Z-R groups are displaced and the polymer becomes bound to the surface by X-Y groups; and (b) contacting a polymer-coated surface resulting from step (a) with a solution, preferably an aqueous solution, comprising an sbp member, so as to cause the polymer to react with the sbp member, so as to attach the sbp member, indirectly, to the surface.
