1. A method of making an array, comprising:
- a) providing i) a plurality of beads, each bead comprising a group of compounds, each compound of said group attached to a bead through a photocleavable linker;
ii) a source of electromagnetic radiation; and
iii) a surface;
b) bringing said plurality of beads into contact with said surface; and
c) illuminating said beads with radiation from said radiation source under conditions such that at least a portion of said compounds is photocleaved from said beads and transferred to said surface to form a plurality of transferred groups of compounds on said surface, at least a portion of said plurality of transferred groups positioned in different locations on said surface.

Abstract
Arrays and methods of making an array are described. A plurality of beads, each bead comprising a group of compounds, each compound of said group attached to a bead through a photocleavable linker are brought in proximity (or contact) with another surface, and exposed to electromagnetic radiation. Illuminating the beads with radiation causes at least a portion of the compounds to be photocleaved from the beads and transferred to the surface to form a plurality of transferred groups of compounds on said surface, at least a portion of which is positioned in different locations on said surface.

22. A method of making an array, comprising:
-
a) providing i) a plurality of beads, each bead comprising a group of compounds and at least one coding agent, each compound of said group attached to a bead through a photocleavable linker, said coding agent attached to said bead through a photocleavable linker;
