12. A method of identifying the presence of at least a first material from a mixture of the first material and at least a second material, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate comprising a first and at least a second region, each region comprising at least a first surface and a plurality of nanofibers attached to the first surface and one or more specific moiety attached to one or more member of the plurality of nanofibers, wherein the moiety interacts with the first material, thus, identifying the presence of the material; and
, contacting the mixture with the substrate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A microarray comprising:
- a substrate comprising a first and at least a second region, each region comprising an enhanced area silicon surface and one or more specific moiety attached to the enhanced area silicon surface wherein fluorescence from nonspecific binding of one or more analyte to the surface is quenched by proximity to the surface and wherein fluorescence from specific binding of one or more analyte to the surface is not quenched by proximity to the surface.
