Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a method of coupling organic ligands to a polymeric carrier. The organic ligand contains at least one primary or secondary amino group, at least one thiol group and/or at least one aromatic hydroxy group, and the polymeric carrier contains at least one hydroxy group. According to the invention the coupling is performed by forming a reactive derivative of the polymeric carrier by treatment with a sulfonyl halogenid, and reacting the formed reactive derivative with the organic ligand, which is thereby bonded directly to a carbon atom in the polymeric carrier. The polymeric carrier can, for example, be a possibly cross-linked polysaccharide, and the organic ligand is preferably a biological material such as a protein. The coupling product can, for example, be used for immunologic determinations, for affinity chromatography, etc. The coupling method can be performed under mild conditions not damaging sensitive organic ligands.
