Abstract
Disclosed are biochips having a high detecting sensitivity with readiness in fabrication of microarray, and a method for fabricating the same, in which a solid support wound with fibers is immersed in a solution containing biomolecules to immobilize the biomolecules onto the fiber, and the individual fibers with the biomolecules immobilized thereon are straightened and arranged. The arranged fibers are embedded with a defined material and cut in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise arrangement direction of the fibers to obtain thin chips. The chips are placed on a substrate to remove the material used for embedding and thereby remain fibers with the immobilized biomolecules on the substrate. This biochip fabrication method immobilizes a great number of biomolecules onto the fibers having a large surface area to enhance the detection sensitivity and allows production of a great number of substrates with an array of biomolecules immobilized simultaneously.
