The present invention provides for assaying as few as a single microarray of a chemical array of microarrays at a time without contamination or damage to a remainder of the microarrays. A chemical array apparatus, system and method comprise a microarray attached to a surface of a planar substrate and a breakaway seal or barrier applied to the substrate surface to surround the microarray. The breakaway seal provides the microarray fluid isolation and is manipulatable. The system further comprises a cover extending over and in contact with the breakaway seal to cover the microarray. The method further comprises processing a microarray of the chemical array with a fluid, and breaking away a portion of the breakaway seal to create a gap. The gap releases the fluid in a direction away from remaining microarrays of the chemical array. A removable cover overlies a microarray on the chemical array apparatus.
