Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated polymer synthesis apparatus for synthesizing a polymer chain onto a solid substrates by sequentially adding polymer building blocks as well as to a method for synthesizing polymers on solid substrates by sequentially reacting polymer building blocks with reactive groups. The invention further relates to a biochip comprising a solid substrate with reactive groups where biomolecules are attached to and the remaining reactive groups are transformed into chemically inert species.
