Polyfunctional support material for complex nucleic acid analysis
First Claim
1. Support material for complex nucleic acid analysis, characterized in that at least one covalently bonded layer is found on the surface that carries at least two different functional groups and that is statistically dispersed on the surface, whereby at least one of the functional groups is negatively charged, at least one other functional group is positively charged or chemically reactive or has both properties.

Abstract
The invention relates to a material for the complex manipulation of nucleic acids as a platform technology for developing integrative, fully automatic systems for nucleic acid analysis. The inventive support material for complex nucleic acid analysis is characterised in that at least one covalently bonded layer is located on the surface, said layer bearing at least two different functional groups which are statistically distributed on the surface. At least one of the functional groups is negatively charged and at least one other functional group is positively charged or chemically reactive or has both of these properties.
