Abstract
Systems, including apparatus and methods, for synthesis of oligomers in arrays.
Claims21
A device comprising:
- an array portion comprising a plurality of porous islands and a spacer separating said islands, said plurality of porous islands being more hydrophilic than said spacer, each island defining at least one pore configured to permit fluid communication between opposing surfaces of said array portion.
A method of placing reagents in reaction compartments of an array comprising:
- dispensing a first reagent to one or more porous islands in an array of porous islands, wherein each porous island comprises at least one reaction compartment and wherein each porous island is configured to restrict said first reagent from flowing laterally beyond each of said one or more porous islands;
- dispensing a second reagent to said one or more porous islands;
- and
- removing said first and second reagents from said reaction compartment.
