Zusammenfassung:The invention provides exemplary devices and methods to facilitate the performance of assays. In one embodiment, one such device comprises a holding member having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of holding locations that are adapted to hold at least one article, such as a solid support and/or a cell. When within the holding locations, the articles are preferably disposed below the top surface. A membrane is positioned above the top surface of the holding member, and a pressure system is provided to apply positive pressure to the membrane to force the membrane against the top surface of the holding member. In this way, a seal may be provided between the holding locations.
