    摘要: Methods of and apparatus for washing an array of sites in high-density microplates or similar assay plates wherein the microplates or assay plates are washed in an inverted or nearly inverted position, rather than in an upright position. Preferably, the wash liquid is dispensed upwardly in the form of a sheet from a nozzle mounted on a spray bar as the spray bar moves relative to the microplate or assay plate. After washing, the microplate or assay plate is dried with a stream of gas such as air, also preferably blown upwardly in the form of a sheet.

    摘要: The present invention relates to compositions, apparatus and methods useful for concurrently performing multiple, high throughput, biological or chemical assays, using repeated arrays of probes. A combination of the invention comprises a surface, which comprises a plurality of test regions, at least two of which, and in a preferred embodiment, at least twenty of which, are substantially identical, wherein each of the test regions comprises an array of generic anchor molecules. The anchors are associated with bifunctional linker molecules, each containing a portion which is specific for at least one of the anchors and a portion which is a probe specific for a target of interest. The resulting array of probes is used to analyze the presence or test the activity of one or more target molecules which specifically interact with the probes. In a preferred embodiment, a sample to be tested is subjected to a nuclease protection procedure before it is contacted with a combination of the invention.

In one embodiment of the invention, the test regions (which can be wells) are further subdivided into smaller subregions (indentations, or dimples). In one embodiment of the invention, ESTs are mapped. In another embodiment, the presence of a target nucleic acid is detected by protecting the target against nuclease digestion with a polynucleotide fragment, and analyzing the protected polynucleotide by mass spectrometry.
