Abstract
Methods for stably associating a polyelectrolyte coating or film to a substrate surface, as well as the coated substrates produced thereby, are disclosed herein. In the subject methods, substrate surfaces are coated with a polyelectrolyte, and the coated substrate surfaces are treated with a bifunctional molecule under conditions sufficient to stably associate the film to the array surface. The subject methods find use in a variety of different applications, including the production of mircoarrarys.
