Click! Fluorous Immobilization of Probes

The immobilization of fluorous tagged substrates to a fluorous modified glass slide has now been demonstrated by several different research groups for the formation of microarrays.  Fluorous based microarrays offer several advantages including low and uniform background fluorescence, low non-specific … Continue reading

Biochemically Smart Fluorous Surfaces

In a recent paper, Rios and Smirnov report the design of smart surfaces responsive to biochemical analytes.   The authors state that this is the first reported example of a surface that can be switched from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by specific … Continue reading

Fluorous silica gel immobilization of fluorous compounds

This post originally appeared in FTI’s July 2003 newsletter. Bannwarth et al have recently published a report describing the use of fluorous tagged compounds adsorbed on fluorous silica gel (Helv. Chim. Acta, 2003, 86, 188). A silyl tagged fluorous linker … Continue reading
