Abstract
Disclosed is a method of producing a two dimensional microarray using a three dimensional or structured microarray. The invention involves forming defined functionalized areas by layering an inert material over the surface structures of the three dimensional microarray. Sufficient of the inert material and of the top of the surface structures are then removed to expose defined areas of the surface structures within the inert material.

A method for preparing a two-dimensional microarray, the method including the steps of forming the defined functionalized areas by layering an inert material between and over the surface structures of a three-dimensional microarray and then removing sufficient of the top of the surface structures, and optionally the inert material, to expose defined areas of the surface structures within the inert material.
