Preparation of polynucleotide arrays
First Claim
1. A device comprising a high density array of a plurality of first molecules and a plurality of second polynucleotides immobilised on the surface of a solid support, wherein each molecule of at least a subset of said plurality of first molecules is shorter in length with respect to the distance from the planar surface of the solid support than the length of each of said second polynucleotide of at least a subset of said plurality of second polynucleotides such that said second polynucleotides are of a length and at a density that permits individual resolution of at least two of said second polynucleotides of said subset.

Abstract
A device comprising an array of molecules immobilised on a solid surface is disclosed, wherein the array has a high density of relatively short molecules and relatively long polynucleotides immobilised on the surface of a solid support, wherein the polynucleotides are at a density that permits individual resolution of those parts thereof that extend beyond the relatively short molecules.

- 1. A device comprising a high density array of a plurality of first molecules and a plurality of second polynucleotides immobilised on the surface of a solid support, wherein each molecule of at least a subset of said plurality of first molecules is shorter in length with respect to the distance from the planar surface of the solid support than the length of each of said second polynucleotide of at least a subset of said plurality of second polynucleotides such that said second polynucleotides are of a length and at a density that permits individual resolution of at least two of said second polynucleotides of said subset.

13. A method of monitoring an interaction with a single polynucleotide, comprising resolving an arrayed polynucleotide with a device comprising a high density array of a plurality of first molecules and a plurality of second polynucleotides immobilised on the surface of a solid support, wherein each molecule of at least a subset of said plurality of first molecules is less in length with respect to the distance from the planar surface of the solid support than the length of each of said second polynucleotide of at least a subset of said plurality of second polynucleotides such that said second polynucleotides are of a length and at a density that permits individual resolution of at least two of said second polynucleotides of said subset.
- 14. A method for the production of an array of polynucleotides which are at a density that permits individual resolution, comprising arraying on the surface of a solid support, a mixture of relatively long polynucleotides and relatively short molecules, wherein the short molecules are in excess of the polynucleotides.
