Synthesis of a new heterobifunctional reagent, N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-6-(N-maleimido)-hexanamide (TPMH), for the preparation of oligonucleotide microarrays is described. Its triethoxysilyl function is specific toward virgin glass surface and maleimide function undergoes conjugate addition to 3'- or 5'-thiol-modified oligonucleotides. The construction of microarrays
