1. A method of producing a microarray, comprising:
- providing a nonporous solid substrate having an amino functional group attached thereto;
dissolving a nucleic acid functionalized with an amino group in a solution comprising polyethylene glycol (PEG) to form a solution containing the nucleic acid and the PEGS; and
transferring the solution containing the nucleic acid and the PEG to the substrate, in order to noncovalently immobilize the nucleic acid on the substrate via noncovalent intervention of the PEG;
wherein the nonporous solid substrate having an amino functional group attached thereto is a solid substrate with a surface coated with γ
-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (GAPS), andthe nucleic acid functionalized with an amino group is DNA functionalized with an aminohexyl group at its 5′
end, andwherein a concentration of the PEG is in a range of 0.4 to 8.0 mM.

Abstract
Provided is a method for noncovalently immobilizing a biomolecule on a solid substrate, including: providing a solid substrate having a first functional group attached thereto, the first functional group having a hydrogen bond donating ability; and reacting a mixture of a compound having a hydrogen bond accepting ability and a biomolecule functionalized with a second functional group, with the surface of the substrate, the second functional group having a hydrogen bond donating ability, in order to noncovalently immobilize the biomolecule on the substrate.
