Enzyme immobilization and bioaffinity separations with perfluorocarbon polymer-based supports

摘要

A bioaffinity separation method is provided along with a solid affinity support utilized in that method. Additionally, immobilized enzyme systems are provided for use as enzyme electrode systems. The support is based on an inert perfluorocarbon polymer carrier with ligands or binders attached to its surface through a highly fluorinated isocyanate anchor group. Methods for preparing such supports and their use in capturing target molecules from samples and in analytical applications are also provided.
