The synthesis and characterization of a new difunctional coupler (4) based on trimethylolpropane (TMP) are described. The coupler is used to connect biologically active N-acetylglucos-amine (GlcNAc) on amino-reactive microtiter plates and on star-shaped poly[(ethylene oxide)-stat-(propylene oxide)] hydrogel layers in microtiter plates. The biological activity of immobilized carbohydrates is determined using an enzyme-linked lectin assay.
