Abstract
A support for immobilizing target molecules comprises a substrate having a plurality of binding regions for binding select target molecules, with target-molecule-capturing agent immobilized at the binding regions. The binding regions are intersperse among other non-binding regions. The binding regions are of sub-micron size, have high selectivity and high binding capacity, and prevent or at least minimize loss of target molecule activity.
