Microarray system utilizing microtiter plates

Abstract

A biological analysis system comprising: a microarray receiver including a substrate coated with a composition including a population of biological probe modified micro-spheres immobilized in a coating containing a gelling agent or precursor to a gelling agent, at least a sub-population of the population of micro-spheres containing an optical bar code generated from at least one colorant associated with the micro-spheres and including a biological probe, and a microtiter plate having a plurality of wells open at first and second ends in liquid sealing contact with the microarray receiver at the first open ends, each of the wells adapted to receive a fluorescently/chemiluminescently labeled biological target sample which interacts fluorescently/chemiluminescently with the biological probe.
