Claim: 1. A method for functionalizing the metal face of a support for analysis by surface plasmon resonance, said method comprising grafting a self-assembled monolayer of poly(ethylene oxide) directly onto the metal face of said support, in which the metal of the metal face is gold, and in which the poly(ethylene oxide) is a compound of formula (I) A-(CH2)n—(O—CH2—CH2)x-D  (I) in which: n is equal to 1 or 2; x is an integer between 5 and 16; A is a group for anchoring the PEO onto the gold surface of the support by a strong interaction; and D is an optionally modified group for the binding of biomolecules.
Claim: 2. The method according to claim 1, in which n is equal to 2.
Claim: 3. The method according to claim 1, in which x is equal to 8.
Claim: 4. The method according to claim 1, in which A corresponds to an —SH group.
Claim: 5. The method according to claim 1, in which the PEO is O-(2-mercaptoethyl)-O′-(2-carboxyethy)heptaethylene glycol of formula HS—CH2—CH2—(O—CH2—CH2)8—COOH.
Claim: 6. The method according to claim 1, which method comprises the series of following steps: 1) prior cleaning of the support; 2) grafting of the PEO onto the support; and 3) optionally, modification of group D of the PEO.
Claim: 7. The method according to claim 6, in which the cleaning is carried out by UV-ozone treatment.
Claim: 8. The method according to claim 6, in which group D represents a —COOH group which is modified in step 3) so as to give an N-hydroxysuccinimide group.
Claim: 9. The method according to claim 6, in which the grafting is carried out by immersing the support in a vessel containing the poly(ethylene oxide) to be grafted, in solution.
Claim: 10. A functionalized support for analysis by surface plasmon resonance, comprising a metal face onto which a self-assembled monolayer of poly(ethylene oxide) is directly grafted, in which the metal face is made of gold, and in which the poly(ethylene oxide) is a compound of formula (I) A-(CH2)n—(O—CH2—CH2)x-D  (I) in which: n is equal to 1 or 2; x is an integer between 5 and 16; A is a group for anchoring the PEO onto the gold surface of the support by a strong interaction; and D is an optionally modified group for the binding of biomolecules.
