Non-specific adsorption inhibitor, probe-bonded particles, and method for producing the same
A method for producing a non-specific adsorption inhibitor includes reacting (A) a tosylated compound of polyoxyethylene monomethyl ether with (B) a polyamine having either an amino group or imino group (—NH—), or both, in total of 3 to 12.
1. A method of inhibiting non-specific adsorption to an object, comprising:
reacting a polyoxyethylene monomethyl ether with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of two or more amine compounds, thereby producing (A) a tosylated compound of polyoxyethylene monomethyl ether, wherein said two or more amine compounds are selected from the group consisting of trimethylamine hydrochloride, trimethylamine hydrobromide, trimethylamine hydrofluoride, trimethylamine sulfate, trimethylamine nitrate, trimethylamine phosphate, triethylamine, tripropylamine, and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine;
reacting (A) the tosylated compound of polyoxyethylene monomethyl ether with (B) a polyamine having either an amino group or an imino group, or both, in a total of 3 to 12, thereby producing a non-specific adsorption inhibitor; and
treating a surface of an object with the non-specific adsorption inhibitor.
2. The method of inhibiting non-specific adsorption to an object as defined in claim 1 , wherein the polyamine (B) has an amino group.
3. The method of inhibiting non-specific adsorption to an object as defined in claim 1 , wherein the polyamine (B) has an imino group.
4. The method of inhibiting non-specific adsorption to an object as defined in claim 1 , wherein the polyamine (B) has both an amino group and an imino group.
5. The method of inhibiting non-specific adsorption to an object as defined in claim 1 , wherein the polyamine (B) is selected from the group consisting of dimethylenetrimine, trimethylenetetramine, tetramethylenepentamine, pentamethylenehexamine, hexamethyleneheptamine, heptamethyleneoctamine, octamethylenenonamine, nonamethylenedecamine, decamethyleneundecamine, undecamethylenedodecamine, diethylenetrimine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, hexaethyleneheptamine, heptaethyleneoactamine, octaethylenenonamine, nonaethylenedecamine, decaethyleneundecamine, undecaethylenedodecamine, spermine and spermidine.
