Abstract: Biomolecules such as enzymes can be immobilized on a surface by a process which comprises the steps of: (1) fixing a compound having a functional group selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydroxy group, a thio group and a combination thereof to a surface by plasmachemical modification of the surface to form a fixed surface; (2) binding a biomolecule to the fixed surface by reaction of the biomolecule with one or more of the functional groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a treatment line. According to said method a) a correlation between one or several variable parameters of the chemical and/or physical processes of the treatment line and one or several characteristic values that are characteristic of the success of the treatment is established; rules are derived of this correlation that describe the dependence of the characteristic value or the characteristic values of the variable, parameters; the correlation and/or the rules derived therefrom are stored in a control system for the treatment line; b) the one or the several characteristic value(s) is/are measured continuously or discontinuously; c) if said characteristic values deviate from a predetermined standard range of values, the/those variable parameter(s) that is/are most closely correlated with said characteristic value is/are modified in the direction which counteracts the deviation of the characteristic value or the characteristic values from the standard range.
