Abstract
A method of preparing (e.g., priming) a surface for attachment of a target molecule to the surface. The method provides a multifunctional reagent having multiple photoreactive groups. The groups can be activated in order to covalently bind one or more of them to the surface in such a manner that one or more will remain unbound. The unbound groups are then capable of reverting to their activatable state, whereupon they can again be activated in order to bind a target molecule having abstractable hydrogen atoms.
