Abstract
Microarrays are provided that include multiple analysis areas. Each analysis area can include first and second active areas, and first and second hydrophobic areas. The first hydrophobic area surrounds the first active area, and the second active area surrounds the first hydrophobic area. The microarrays are useful in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and biology.
