A microarray scanning system for conducting experiments on a planar substrate includes an apparatus for translating the secured substrate in two axes, the substrate having at least one fiducial mark on the planar substrate as a means for positioning and aligning the substrate for subsequent spot placement, analysis, or comparison procedures. The at least one fiducial mark is deposited at a predetermined position relative to the at least one location of a corresponding microarray of test spots or samples. |
