  • Method for immobilization of (an) affinity reagent(s) on a hydrophobic solid phase
    Patent number: 7052887
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of immobilizing an affinity reagent or affinity reagents on a hydrophobic solid phase which can be used in biological assays for analyte detection. The invention relates more particularly to a method of immobilizing an affinity reagent on a hydrophobic solid phase functionalized by a carboxyl group, said method comprising a step for activation of said solid phase and a step for coupling of the affinity reagent to said solid phase, characterized in that the step for activation of said solid phase uses a combination of a carbodiimide and a phosphate buffer in the presence of a co-activator and in an acid medium, and in that the coupling step is performed in a basic medium. The invention further relates to the reactive complexes obtained by this method and to their use in immunoassay kits, hybridization kits or enzymatic assay kits.
