Abstract
This invention provides methods and systems to prepare replicate arrays from master arrays of liquid solutions. Replicate arrays of liquid solutions can be reacted to form product solid inorganic material arrays for analysis and selection of optimum processes and products with desirable properties.
Claims29
A method of preparing replicate arrays of liquid solutions, the method comprising:
- preparing a master array of liquid solutions comprising one or more inorganic materials, each liquid solution having a unique address in the master array;
- transferring a replicate array of the master array onto a first substrate;
- thereby producing a first replicate array of the liquid solutions;
- stabilizing at least one of the inorganic materials with a stabilizing polymer that is not a chelator;
- and,
- transforming the replicate liquid solutions into a solid product composition reaction product of two or more different inorganic materials.

A method of preparing replicate arrays of liquid solutions, the method comprising:
- preparing a master array of two or more different inorganic materials in liquid solutions comprising a stabilizing polymer that is other than a chelator, each liquid solution having a unique address in the master array;
- transferring at least a first portion of each of the liquid solutions from the master array to a first substrate to form a first replicate array of liquid solutions;
- transferring at least a second portion of each of the liquid solutions from the master array to a second substrate to form a second replicate array of liquid solutions;
- using a first process to transform the first replicate liquid solutions into a first product array of solid inorganic materials;
- using a second process to transform the second replicate liquid solutions into a second product array of solid inorganic materials;
- and
- detecting a signal from at least one address of the first product array, and comparing that signal to a signal detected from the corresponding address of the second product array.
