Abstract: Microfluidic devices are potentially useful for biomedical detection, which sometimes need to be modified on the surface to immobilize active biomolecules. Surface modification of air-plasma-pretreated epoxy resin via near UV-induced graft polymerization with acrylic acid (AAc) was carried out. Specific antibodies were covalently immobilized on the surface of epoxy resin which were used to immunological detection. The modified epoxy resin were characterized by static water contact angle measurement, toluidine blue O staining test, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), bicinchoninic acid (BCA) test, and cell attachment. Our studies showed that the carboxyl groups were grafted onto the surface of epoxy resin, and covalently crosslinked with proteins. The results of cell attachment revealed that the modified epoxy resin could be applied to immunological detection.
