METHOD OF PROVIDING PARTICLES HAVING BIOLOGICAL-BINDING AREAS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention includes micro-sphere composition, methods of making binding assays. The present invention also includes a micro-sphere for binding biological molecules without pretreatment. The micro-sphere includes a spherical glass substrate having one or more metal nanoparticle regions that are exposed from within the glass, wherein the micro-sphere is capable of binding biological molecules without pretreatment.
