A microarray with optically recorded information and a sample capable of producing a signal as a response to external influence, or a precursor which, when activated or combined with a reagent, produces a sample capable of generating a signal. The microarray is compatible with a dual functionality optical drive. A method for acquiring information about a sample comprises directing a probe to a sample at a microarray to produce a signal from the sample, wherein the microarray is compatible with a dual functionality optical drive, and detecting the signal. The information optically recorded on the microarray can be in the CD, DVD or HD DVD or Blue Ray format.
