Methods and devices for producing a polymer at a location of a substrate
First Claim
1. A method for producing a polymer at a location of a substrate surface, said method comprising:
- (a) depositing a fluid droplet containing a first monomer labeled with a first detectable label from a fluid deposition device onto said location of a substrate surface having a second monomer labeled with a second detectable label to produce a polymer at said location, wherein said first and second detectable labels are distinguishable from each other; and
(b) detecting said first and second detectable labels to determine any misalignment between said fluid deposition device and said location during said depositing.

Abstract
Methods and devices for producing a polymer at a location of a substrate are provided. In the subject methods, a fluid droplet containing a first monomer labeled with a first detectable label is deposited from a fluid deposition device onto a location of a substrate surface having a second monomer labeled with a second detectable label. The first and second detectable labels are then detected to determine any misalignment between the fluid deposition device and the location of the substrate surface during deposition. Also provided are algorithms that perform the subject methods, as well as fluid deposition devices that include the subject algorithms. The subject invention also includes arrays produced according to the subject methods and kits that include the subject arrays.

- 24. An array of polymers covalently bonded to a surface of a solid support, wherein said array includes at least one polymer covalently bonded to said surface that includes a first residue bonded to a first detectable label and a second residue bonded to a second detectable label, wherein said first and second detectable labels are distinguishable from each other.
