1. A method of treating a sensor array, the sensor array including a plurality of sensors, a sensor of the plurality of the sensors including a sensor pad, a well structure defining a well array having a plurality of wells, a well of the plurality of wells disposed over each sensor of the sensor array and providing an opening to the sensor pad, the method comprising:
- applying a wash solution to the well and at least the sensor pad and waiting for a first period between 30 seconds and 30 minutes, the wash solution including an acid and an organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of non-polar and polar aprotic organic solvents;
rinsing at least the sensor pad with an alcohol having a normal boiling point in a range of 25°
C. to 100°
C.; and
drying the sensor array.
