SUBSTRATE FOR PROBE ARRAY AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME, AND PROBE ARRAY AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

It is intended to provide a substrate for a probe array suitable for fabricating a probe array which has a high degree of integration, can hold a sufficient amount of probe molecules and shows little variation in the amount of probe molecules. A plural number of probe holding sections (102) each having a concaved shape are aligned. To prevent a probe solution to be introduced into the probe holding sections (102) from wet spreading, separating grooves (112) are formed between individual adjacent probe holding sections (102). The inner face of the probe holding sections (102) is made hydrophilic, whereas the inner face of the separating grooves (112) is made hydrophobic. A projection (104) for introducing a solution is formed in each probe holding section (102).
