Biosensors based on electronic conducting polymers appear particularly well suited to the requirements of modern biological analysis-multiparametric assays, high information density, and miniaturization. We describe a new methodology for the preparation of addressed DNA matrices. The process includes an electrochemically directed copolymerization of pyrrole and oligonucleotides bearing on their 5' end a pyrrole moiety. The resulting poly mer film deposited on the addressed electrode consists of pyrrole chains bearing covalently linked oligonucleotides (ODN). An oligonucleotide array was constructed on a silicon device bearing a matrix of 48 addressable 50 x 50 mum gold microelectrodes. This technology was successfully applied to the genotyping of hepatitis C virus in blood samples. Fluorescence detection results show good sensitivity and a high degree of spatial resolution. In addition, gravimetric stud ies carried out by the quartz crystal microbalance technique provide quantitative data on the amount of surface-immobilized species. In the case of ODN, it allows discrimination between hybridization and nonspecific adsorption. The need for versatile processes for the immobilization of biological species on surfaces led us to extend our methodology. A biotinylated surface was obtained by coelectropolymerization of pyrrole and biotin-pyrrole monomers. The efficiency for recognition (and consequently immobilization) of R-phycoerythrin-avidin was demonstrated by fluorescence detection. Copolymerization of decreasing ratios of pyrrole-biotin over pyrrole allowed us to obtain a decreasing scale of fluorescence.
