1. A method for making a biological chip plate comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a body comprising a plurality of wells defining spaces;
(b) providing a wafer comprising on its surface a plurality of probe arrays, each probe array comprising a collection of probes, at least two of which are different, arranged in a spacially defined and physically addressable manner;
(c) attaching the wafer to the body so that the probe arrays are exposed to the spaces of the wells.

Abstract
Methods for concurrently processing multiple biological chip assays by providing a biological chip plate comprising a plurality of test wells, each test well having a biological chip having a molecular probe array; introducing samples into the test wells; subjecting the biological chip plate to manipulation by a fluid handling device that automatically performs steps to carry out reactions between target molecules in the samples and probes; and subjecting the biological chip plate to a biological chip plate reader that interrogates the probe arrays to detect any reactions between target molecules and probes.
