The present invention provides materials, methods, and kits for reducing nonspecific binding of molecules to a surface, particularly in a solid phase material, and more specifically a solid phase material that includes a hydrophobic portion, by contacting the solid phase material with a fluorinated nonionic surfactant comprising two or more fluorinated hydrophobic segments and one or more hydrophilic segments.

Materials, methods, and kits for reducing nonspecific binding of molecules to a surface

A coated laminate having an ionic surface including a shrinkable polymeric film, an ionic coating and, optionally, a hydrogel is disclosed. A method for transferring sample molecules from a matrix to a coated laminate having an ionic surface also is disclosed.

Coated film laminate having an ionic surface

A process for modifying a surface of an article that includes treating the surface with (a) a first water-soluble polyalkylene amine, (b) a water-soluble polymeric anionic compound, and (c) a second water-soluble polyalkylene amine in the absence of crosslinking agents to create a modified surface.
