Abstract:
A method for fabricating biochips, comprising:immersing individual fibers wound around solid supports in solution containing biomolecules to immobilize the biomolecules onto the individual fibers; arranging the individual fibers with the biomolecules immobilized thereon to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance; embedding the arranged fibers within a frozen aqueous material by immersing the arranged fibers in an aqueous solution and freezing the arranged fibers in the aqueous solution; cutting the embedded fibers in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise arrangement direction of the fibers to obtain chips; and placing the chips on a substrate and removing the frozen aqueous material used to embed the fibers, wherein the fibers with the immobilized biomolecules on the substrate remain.
