BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM WITH COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY APPLICATIONS

摘要

Systems and methods of biochemical analysis are provided. A method of performing biochemical assays includes loading a first plurality of reservoirs on a first liquid carrier with a first plurality of compounds, coupling a second carrier with the first carrier, the second carrier having a second plurality of reservoirs configured to couple with the first plurality of reservoirs and containing a second plurality of compounds, transferring at least a portion of the first plurality of compounds to the second plurality of reservoirs, and separating at least one component from the second plurality of reservoirs. A system for biochemical analysis includes a first carrier and a second carrier. The first carrier includes a first substrate and a plurality of reservoirs in the substrate for retaining a first plurality of compounds. The second carrier includes a second substrate and a plurality of projections, each projection having a distal end provided with a receiving feature for receiving a component from the plurality of reservoirs when the first carrier and the second carrier are coupled.
