The invention relates to apparatus and a method for carrying out chemical and biological assays. The invention relates in particular to a support disc (1), which comprises an adapter element (3) and a functional element (2). The functional element (2) can consist of (a) a substrate element for receiving an array of biological or chemical substances, and/or (b) a micro-fluidic element comprising a channel structure for transporting fluidic media, and/or (c) a data element for storing and/or reading data in machine-readable form. The invention also relates to a method for producing oligonucleotide arrays on a support disc (10), coupling points being provided on the assay side (11), by which the oligonucleotides are attached to the disc in succession. The oligonucleotide array can be used in hybridisation assays. To produce the array, the disc is rotated and/or the light source and disc are displaced in a radial direction in relation to each other. The analysis of a hybridisation assay is performed in a similar manner. |
