Abstract
A method of testing multiple fluid samples with multiple biopolymer arrays. A cover is assembled to a contiguous substrate carrying on a first side, multiple arrays each with multiple regions of biopolymers linked to the substrate, such that the cover and the substrate together form a plurality of chambers each containing a biopolymer array and each being accessible through its own port. Multiple fluid samples are introduced into respective chambers through a port of each such that the fluid samples contact respective arrays. A binding pattern of the arrays is observed. An apparatus and kit useful in such methods, are also provided.

49. A method of testing multiple fluid samples using a contiguous substrate carrying multiple arrays each with multiple discrete regions of biopolymers linked to the substrate, comprising:
-
exposing at least one of the arrays to a test sample under a first set of conditions; and
exposing at least another one of the arrays to a reference sample under the same set of conditions, wherein said at least another one of the arrays is not exposed to any test sample. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)
