## Abstract In our photoβinduced immobilization technique for an antibody (IgG) using azopolymers, the introduction of COOH and NMe~2~ into the azopolymers, which can introduce surface charges, strongly affected the immobilization properties such as the efficiency of immobilization and the activity

β¦ Synopsis
Fluorescence confocal microscopy was used to characterize micron-sized microfabricated silicon particles and planar oxide surfaces after silanization and immobilization of IgG antibody. Surfaces treated with amino-and mercaptosilanes were tested for the presence of amine and sulfhydryl groups by labeling with specific fluorescein probes. In addition, human antibody (IgG) was immobilized to the thiol-coated microparticles using the heterobifunctional crosslinker succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidolmethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate. Estimates of the surface density of IgG were consistent with 8.3% of a monolayer of covalently-bound antibody. Confocal images confirmed uniform layers of both silanes and antibodies on the microparticles. The sensitivity limit for the confocal measurements was determined to be as low as 1.5 Γ 10 -5 fluors per nm 2 .
