MULTIPLE-CONTAINER SYSTEMS WITH IMPROVED SENSITIVITY FOR OPTICAL ANALYSES

摘要

The invention relates to multiple-container systems and to the use of same f or optical assays. The invention relates in particular to a multiple-container system comprising a container wall matrix (1) with continuous cavities and o ne or more optically transparent base plates (2) joined to the container wall matrix.aid system is characterized in that the base plates are coated with a film (3) having functional groups suitable for the covalent immobilization o f molecules. The film on the base plate is preferably a Langmuir-Blodgett film , and preferably a Langmuir-Blodgett film on cellulose basis. The invention further relates to multiple-container systems comprising a container wall matrix with continuous cavities and one or more optically transparent base plates joined to the container wall matrix. Said systems are characterized i n that the base plates are coated with a film derivatized with receptor molecules or molecules presenting low non-specific protein adsorption.
