    Patent number: 6130044
    Abstract: A highly specific surface for biological reactions, which includes a support with at least one essentially compact layer of an organic compound. On the outside of the organic compound layer is an exposed group containing an ethylenic double bond, which has affinity for a molecule with biological activity under certain reaction conditions. The other elements of the organic compound layer are essentially inaccessible to the molecule with biological activity under the reaction conditions.
