1. A microarray system for diagnosing a disease in a bodily fluid, comprising:
- a microarray product comprising at least 100 diagnostic protein markers/cm2,a labeled microarray identifier, anda plurality of a stabilizing agent present in an amount or concentration sufficient for stabilizing said at least 100 diagnostic protein markers/cm2;
a control microarray product, located on at least one microarray site bound to said microarray product, and comprising a first specific binding pair member that binds to a first detectable label; and
operably connected to a computer processor;
wherein said processor is programmed for providing information to a computer data base recording the identification and concentration of protein markers on the microarray based on the identity of the array provided by the labeled microarray identifier.
