Abstract: The present teaching provides a fluorescent oligonucleotide probe having a high degree of design flexibility and wide applicability, as well as the use thereof. This is an oligonucleotide probe capable of forming a stem and loop, comprising at least one fluorophore located between adjacent nucleotides in the stem and is linked to a unit represented by Formula (1) and at least one quencher located at a site capable of pairing up with the at least one fluorophore located between the adjacent nucleotides in the stem and is linked to a unit represented by Formula (2). (In the formulae, X represents the fluorophore, Y represents the quencher, R1 represents an optionally substituted C2 or C3 alkylene chain, R2 represents an optionally substituted C0-2 alkylene chain, and Z represents a direct bond or linker.

Abstract: Disclosed is a peptide immobilization technique which can achieve the immobilization of a satisfactory quantity of a peptide on a solid support. In the immobilization of a peptide on a solid support, a surfactant is allowed to coexist on the solid support together with the peptide. In this manner, the quantity of the peptide immobilized on the solid support can be increased.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a probe array having partitioned array regions with uniform surface chemical properties. The probe array of the present invention includes a substrate having a plurality of partitioned array regions where many probes are immobilized and a separator attached to the substrate and including partitions partitioning the array regions. The above object can be achieved by attaching the separator including the partitions capable of partitioning instead of forming hydrophobic regions on a surface of the substrate by printing or chemical treatment.

Abstract: The hybridization device of the invention aims to attain a hybridization reaction of high reproducibility. A hybridization device 2 for a hybridization reaction of nucleic acid has a cover member 10 that defines a cavity 12, which includes a nucleic acid fixation area 6 of a substrate 4 for fixation of a nucleic acid probe and has capacity for storage of a liquid for the hybridization reaction therein. At least part of an area exposed to inside of the cavity 12 forms a hydrophobic region 18. Adequate control of the surface characteristic of the area exposed to the cavity for implementing the hybridization reaction desirably enhances the signal intensity and reduces a variation in signal intensity, thus attaining the hybridization reaction of high reproducibility.
