It is intended to provide a method of reusing a DNA-immobilization
substrate whereby the expensive DNA-immobilization substrate can be
efficiently utilized and a reusable DNA-immobilization substrate having
the same performance as a new product without any trouble in practical
use can be provided. Namely, a method of reusing a DNA-immobilization
substrate characterized in that, to remove DNA from a DNA-immobilization
substrate carrying the DNA immobilized by an acid-amide bond via an
oligonucleotide to thereby enable the immobilization of a fresh DNA, the
acid-amide bond between the substrate and the DNA is hydrolyzed with an
acid or an alkali.
