Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a probe array having partitioned array regions with uniform surface chemical properties. The probe array of the present invention includes a substrate having a plurality of partitioned array regions where many probes are immobilized and a separator attached to the substrate and including partitions partitioning the array regions. The above object can be achieved by attaching the separator including the partitions capable of partitioning instead of forming hydrophobic regions on a surface of the substrate by printing or chemical treatment.

56. A method for producing a probe array, the method comprising:
-
a step of immobilizing many probes in one or more array regions on a substrate; and a step of partitioning the many probes into the array regions by attaching a separator to a surface of the substrate where the probes are immobilized, the separator including partitions capable of partitioning the surface of the substrate. - View Dependent Claims (57)

61. A reaction method using a probe array, the method comprising:
-
a reaction step of causing a reaction by supplying solutions under examination into one or more array regions, partitioned by partitions having a first height, where many probes are immobilized on a substrate of the probe array; and a subsequent step of cleaning or detection of a reaction product after the reaction step, the subsequent step being performed without the partitions present or with the height of the partitions reduced to a second height lower than the first height. - View Dependent Claims (62, 63, 64, 65)
