1. A method for concurrently processing multiple biological chip assays comprising the steps of:

  • (a) providing a biological chip plate comprising a plurality of probe arrays and, surrounding the probe arrays, material resistant to the flow of liquid, thereby forming a plurality of test wells, each test well defining a space for the introduction of a sample;

    (b) introducing into each test well test samples from a plurality of different patients, wherein each test sample contains target molecules;

    (c) manipulating the biological chip plate with a fluid handling device that automatically performs steps to carry out reactions between target molecules in the test samples and probes in a plurality of the test wells; and

    (d) interrogating the probe arrays of the biological chip plate with a biological chip plate reader to detect reactions between target molecules and probes in a plurality of the test wells to generate assay results.
