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 housing having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes a substrate insertion slot dimensioned to be substantially flush with a substrate having at least one array inserted therethrough. The subject device may also include a sealing element for forming seals around a plurality of arrays on the substrate 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 is provided, a substrate having at least one array is inserted through the substrate insertion slot, a sample is contacted to the at least one array and an array assay is performed. The subject invention also includes kits for use in practicing the subject methods.
