Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Array assay devices and methods for using the same in array based assays are provided. The subject array assay devices are characterized by having a substrate (110) having at least one array (112) sealed between a rigid bottom surface (1) and a cover (3), wherein the rigid bottom surface (1) and the cover (3) are sealed to each other by a frangible seal (25). The subject device (2) may also include a sealing element (20) for forming seals around a plurality of arrays (112) to provide individual assay areas. There are also provided methods of performing an array assay. In the subject methods, a subject array assay device (2) is provided, a sample is contacted to the at least one array (112) and an array assay is performed. The frangible seal (25) may then be broken to expose the at least one array (112). The subject invention also provides for kits which include the subject devices.
