Methods and devices are provided for using high-density arrays of diverse
chemical entities. In preferred embodiments, small volumes of multiple
liquids are delivered to multiple reaction sites on a single substrate
where the liquids are constrained to localized reaction sites. The
substrate need not be cut apart prior to being used for analysis.
Accordingly, the area of the substrate on which analysis may be performed
is maximized. In many embodiments of the present invention, constraining
regions hinder the transport of liquids between adjacent reaction sites.
