1. A method of assembling a sensor plate comprising:

  • selecting a substrate comprising a plurality of sensors, each sensor surrounded by a border region that does not comprise any sensors, each sensor comprising an array of probes, wherein the substrate has an active side from which the sensor probes are dipped in a reservoir of a processing plate and an inactive side for attachment to a support plate;

    aligning the substrate relative to a support plate comprising structural elements; and

    fixedly attaching the substrate to the support plate to form a sensor plate, wherein the structural elements of the support plate contact and support the inactive side of the substrate within the border regions surrounding the sensors, and wherein the attached substrate protrudes from the support plate to facilitate dipping the active side of the substrate into the reservoir of the processing plate.
