Chemical arrays and method for their production

摘要

An array assembly and a method of fabricating such an assembly. The array assembly may include a plastic base layer (14a), a glass layer (14d) forward of the base layer, and an array (12) of polymers having a pattern of features on a front surface (11a) of the glass layer. A method of reading an array is also provided in which the array has a plastic base layer (14a), a glass layer (14d) forward of the base layer, a reflective layer (14c) intermediate the base and glass layers, and an array on a front surface of the glass layer. The method may include illuminating features of the array and detecting any resulting fluorescence.
