Abstract

A body 300 having a cavity 310 for mounting a substrate 120 fabricated with probe sequences at known locations according to the methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,143,854 and PCT WO 92/10092 or others, is provided. The cavity includes inlets 350 and 360 for introducing selected fluids into the cavity to contact the probes. Accordingly, a commercially feasible device for use in high throughput assay systems is provided.

Claims (5)

1 . A method of making probe chips comprising the steps of:

forming a plurality of probe arrays on a wafer;

separating said wafer into a plurality of chips, each of said chips comprising at least one probe array thereon; and

mating at least one of said chips to a package, said package comprising a reaction chamber, said reaction chamber comprising inlets for flowing fluid therein, said at least one probe array in fluid communication with said reaction chamber.

2 - 92 . (canceled).
