Abstract
A method for linking strongly negatively charged biological macromolecules like deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and glycosaminoglycans (GAG) to plastic substrates, comprising contacting the macromolecules and the plastics with a non chaotropic solution containing a salt in an amount of at least 20% of its saturation concentration, or having a pH below the pKa of the charged groups of the macromolecules to be linked. Also disclosed are the products of the method, in particular a microtiter plate with plastic wells coated with the negatively charged non-proteinaceous macrobiomolecules.
