Abstract

One object of the present invention is to provide a biosensor and a production method therefor, by which hydrogel that enables immobilization of a physiologically active substance can be conveniently produced using safe raw materials. The present invention provides a biosensor which comprises a substrate having a metal layer on its surface, wherein a hydrophilic polymer having a reactive functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxyl group or an amino group of a physiologically active substance is bound to the metal layer directly or indirectly via an intermediate layer.

Claims (28)

1 . A biosensor which comprises a substrate having a metal layer on its surface, wherein a hydrophilic polymer having a reactive functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxyl group or an amino group of a physiologically active substance is bound to the metal layer directly or indirectly via an intermediate layer.

3 . The biosensor according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive functional group of the hydrophilic polymer is a dichlorotriazine group.

4 . The biosensor according to claim 1 , which is obtained by forming a dense layer on the metal surface using an alkanethiol having a reactive group at its terminus or a disulfide that is an oxidized product of the alkanethiol, and then allowing the reactive group at the terminus of the alkanethiol to react with a hydrophilic polymer having a reactive functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxyl group or an amino group of a physiologically active substance.

5 . The biosensor according to claim 1 , wherein a carboxylic acid is introduced by allowing the reactive functional groups of the hydrophilic polymer to react with an amino acid.

7 . A method for producing the biosensor according to claim 1 , which comprises a step of chemically binding a hydrophilic polymer having a reactive functional group capable of reacting with a hydroxyl group or an amino group of a physiologically active substance to the surface of a substrate having a metal layer on its surface directly or indirectly via an intermediate layer.

8 . A method for detecting or measuring a substance interacting with a physiologically active substance, which comprises a step of allowing a test substance to come into contact with the biosensor of claim 1 to the surface of which the physiologically active substance binds via a covalent bond.

9 . A biosensor which comprises a surface having a reactive group capable of chemically immobilizing a physiologically active substance and a cationic group.

10 . The biosensor according to claim 9 , wherein the surface comprising a reactive group capable of chemically immobilizing a physiologically active substance and a cationic group is a surface having a water-soluble polymer bound thereto, a surface having a hydrophobic polymer bound thereto, or a surface having a self-assembling monolayer film formed thereon.
