In a carrier medium having at least two defined regions, biological and/or chemical substances are applied to the regions of the carrier medium for analyzing an analyte. The carrier medium is also provided with a stored code that indicates which biological and/or chemical substance is located in which defined region. The application of multiple biological and/or chemical substances to one carrier medium enables multiple analyses to be performed simultaneously on the analyte. This approach reduces the required quantities of the biological and/or chemical substances needed to perform the desired analyses of the analyte. The carrier medium itself does not reveal which biological and/or chemical substance is located in which region; this information may instead be provided by the code.
A carrier medium for analyzing an analyte, to which at least one substance is applied in at least two defined regions, with a code showing which of the at least one substance is located in which of the at least two defined regions.
A method for manufacturing a carrier media comprising the steps of:
A device for reading a carrier medium, having at least one optical detector per defined region on the carrier medium, wherein each optical detector detects reactions of certain substances in the defined regions on an analyte and provides corresponding when as the carrier medium is in a read position relative to the device.
A method for reading a carrier medium comprising the steps of:
A carrier medium for analyzing an analyte on which certain substances are applied in at least two defined regions, having at least one code which is assignable to a person or group of persons.
