The subject devices are characterized by an array holder that holds a substrate having at least one array and a data storage element operatively coupled thereto and configured to receive and store data related to a held array. Stored data may include calibration data and/or the number of times the array is scanned. The data storage element may be configured to communicate with at least one external apparatus using a physical connection. In using the subject devices, a subject array holder holds a substrate having at least one array and data related to the at least one array is received and stored by the data storage element. The data storage element may communicate with at least one external apparatus using a physical connection. Also provided are kits for practicing the subject methods.
