| 摘要 |
Aspects of the invention include methods for producing a backing element for use in an array assay device. An embodiment of the invention includes providing a precursor backing element, e.g., a solid support having a fluid retaining structure on a planar surface thereof, subjecting the precursor backing element to a solvent/plasma treatment step and then contacting the solvent/plasma treated backing element with a surface energy modification agent. Also provided are backing elements produced in accordance with embodiments of the invention, as well as array assay devices that include the backing elements. In addition, methods of using the array assay devices in analyte detection applications, as well as kits for use therein are provided.
