Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Array assay devices and methods for using the same in array based assays are provided. The subject array assay devices (2) are characterized by having a housing (4) having a first end (12) and a second end (14), wherein the first end (12) includes a substrate insertion slot (6) dimensioned to be substantially flush with a substrate (110) having at least one array (112) inserted therethrough. The subject device (2) may also include a sealing element (20) for forming seals around a plurality of arrays (112) on the substrate (110) to provide individual assay areas. The subject invention also includes methods for performing an array assay. In the subject methods, a subject array assay device (2) is provided, a substrate (110) having at least one array (112) is inserted through the substrate insertion slot (6), a sample is contacted to the at least one array (112) and an array assay is performed. The subject invention also includes kits for use in practicing the subject methods.
