First Claim
1. An array device for monitoring the effect of a physical or chemical stimulus on multiple small samples, said array device comprising a supporting substrate at least two array elements that are separated from each other by a isolation zone, said array elements comprising:
- A receiving zone arranged to provide a contact between said one of said samples and said physical or chemical stimulus, said receiving zone having a cross-section smaller than 10 mm, A heat detection means arranged to perform a measurement of heat between said receiving zone and a reference, and said isolation zone being formed by at least part of said supporting substrate characterised in that said supporting substrate has sufficient strength to support said array device and said isolation zone is arranged to thermally isolate said array elements.
