Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plastic substrate for microchips having a saturated cyclic polyolefin resin in which the fluorescence of the substrate is suppressed that increases by applying oxidation treatment to the plastic substrate for microchips made of a norbornene resin having the saturated cyclic polyolefin resin. <P>SOLUTION: The substrate is brought into contact with water molecules (for example, immersed in pure water) to introduce a hydroxy group into a carbon atom in a radical state, immediately after the substrate is subjected to the oxidation treatment (for example, oxygen gas low temperature plasma discharge). Consequently, the ratio of the carbon atom having a π-bond in a molecular layer on the surface of the substrate decreases to less than that for the state of only oxidation treatment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various gene analysis techniques have been developed, which have spurred elucidation of life functions. If a database of gene polymorphisms that dynamically respond to various diseases in medical care can be constructed, it will be possible to identify target disease-related gene groups, and further advance the development of new drugs by custom-made treatment and new drug design. It is considered possible. Under such circumstances, microarrays capable of very small-scale extraction, reaction, detection, etc., and the ability to simultaneously measure a large number of genes or a large number of samples, make microchips such as DNA chips the most powerful technique for gene polymorphism analysis. Chips are receiving attention.

However, many problems still exist in the microchip.

If there is a shock such as a drop, it is very easy to break. The microarray is also processed precisely on the glass by using the advanced fine processing technology, and the manufacturing cost becomes very high.

Therefore, in order to be widely and generally used in medicine, it is easier and cheaper to handle than at present so that various processes carried out before gene analysis performed by collecting a sample from a patient can be carried out easily. A product is desired, and recently, in order to solve this problem, a plastic molded product is used instead of a silicon wafer or a slide glass as a substrate that is strong against impact such as dropping and can be supplied at a low price. Attempts are beginning to be made. Furthermore, by selecting plastic as the material of the substrate, there is an advantage that various shapes that add the function of a microreactor by microfabrication that can perform extraction, mixing and reaction can be mass-produced by a method such as injection molding. is there. Further, even when an electrode or a vibrator is used as a DNA carrier in a DNA chip, a plastic may be used as a spacer for fixing nucleic acid (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-501920).

However, when plastic is used as a substrate for a microarray or a DNA chip, the substrate itself emits fluorescence depending on the molecular structure of the substance constituting the substrate. The fluorescence emitted from the substrate becomes noise and is mixed with the fluorescence signal emitted by the fluorescent label. This fluorescence is a major factor in lowering detection sensitivity in a detection system using a fluorescent labeling substance.

When the oxygen gas low temperature plasma discharge treatment is performed as the oxidation treatment, it is expected that the carbon atoms on the surface of the substrate will form a radical state of the carbon atoms or a π bond due to the oxygen radicals. In other types of resins with high light transmittance such as polystyrene and polycarbonate, since the molecular structure of the polymer originally contains an aromatic ring, the fluorescence of the resin itself is strong,
There was no problem as fluorescence noise increased by the oxidation treatment.

However, the molecular structure of a saturated cyclic polyolefin resin such as norbornene resin does not contain a π bond, and the original fluorescence of the resin itself is very small. When the oxygen gas low temperature plasma discharge treatment was performed, about 10 to 25% of carbon atoms existing on the substrate surface had a π bond, and this was a factor for increasing the fluorescence of the substrate itself by the oxygen gas low temperature plasma discharge treatment.

The increase in fluorescence of the substrate itself due to the oxygen gas low-temperature plasma discharge treatment is caused by introducing a hydroxyl group into a carbon atom in a radical state even if the substrate is immersed in pure water immediately after the oxygen gas low-temperature plasma discharge treatment to cause autofluorescence due to the oxidation treatment. It is possible to suppress the increase. When the ratio of carbon atoms having a π bond among the carbon atoms existing in the molecular layer constituting the surface of the substrate is 15% or less, noise due to autofluorescence does not hinder the measurement. As a result, the ratio of carbon atoms having a π bond among the carbon atoms existing in the molecular layer constituting the surface of the substrate is 15

Further, by carrying out the above treatment, many hydroxyl groups can be introduced into the surface of the substrate, and the effect of increasing the number of reaction sites can be obtained when the surface treatment is applied to the substrate. For example, in the case of coating with an aminosilane agent as disclosed in JP-A-60-15560 described in the prior art, the aminosilane agent may be coated more as the number of hydroxyl groups on the substrate surface increases. It is possible. As in the examples described below, compared to only subjecting the saturated cyclic polyolefin resin substrate to the oxygen gas low temperature plasma discharge treatment, the substrate immersed in pure water immediately after the oxygen gas low temperature plasma discharge treatment constitutes the surface of the substrate. The number of hydroxyl groups present in the molecular layer can be increased about 1.5 times.

[2] ESCA Analysis The test pieces cut out from the examples and comparative examples were ESCA (model: ES manufactured by FI SURFACE SYSTEMS).
CALAB 220i-XL, analysis area: 0.6 mm
φ, photoelectron escape angle: 90 deg, vacuum degree: 1.5 × 10
Surface analysis was carried out by -6 Pa, X-ray source: AlKα ray) to compare and evaluate the proportion of carbon atoms existing in the molecular layer constituting the surface of the substrate for each bonding state. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. From this, it was confirmed that by applying the formulation of the present invention, the number of hydroxyl groups was increased and the number of carbon atoms having a π bond was decreased.
