“…Protein microarrays have become a powerful tool in biorelated fields such as precision diagnostics, biomarker screening, drug screening, and proteomics due to the advantages of high throughput, miniaturization, fast quantification, convenient handling, and reduced amount of analyte. − Inorganic materials such as glass and silicon wafer have been widely used as a substrate for the fabrication of biochips because of their excellent bulk properties and surface reactiveness for further modification. , Compared with inorganic support, polymer substrates show good processability and are lightweight and impact resistant; thus, they are conducive to large-scale industrial production of low-cost disposable biochips. Recently, many polymer substrate such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), , polystyrene (PS), , polycarbonate (PC), , poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), , and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) , have been investigated as substrates for biochip preparation.…”
