Abstract
A method for filling microchambers with a chemistry in a substrate containing a plurality of microchambers comprises forming a channel in the substrate such that the channel is fluidically connected with the plurality of microchambers. The chemistry is delivered into the channel so that the chemistry is delivered to each of the microchambers. The chemistry is then permitted to incubate within each of the microchambers. Excess chemistry is then removed from the microchambers by introducing fluid through the channel to each of the connected microchambers.

A method for filling microchambers with a chemistry in a substrate containing a plurality of microchambers, the method comprising:
- forming a channel in the substrate such that the channel is fluidically connected with the plurality of microchambers;
- delivering the chemistry into the channel so that the chemistry is delivered to each of the microchambers;
- permitting the chemistry to incubate within each of the microchambers;
- and
- removing excess chemistry from the microchambers by introducing fluid through the channel to each of the connected microchambers.
