A renewable, chemoselective, and quantitative ligand density microarray for the study of biospecific interactions

Novel renewable microarray technology has been developed to immobilize and release carbohydrates and proteins from self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of electroactive quinone-terminated alkanethiolates on gold surfaces. This method may be applied to a variety of research fields for use in biosensor technology and the generation of renewable and tailored microarrays for biospecific cell-based assays.
