array of molecules

Oligonucleotides attach to plates {array} in rectangular patterns, to test one sample for hybridization.

plates

Plates can be silicon chips {DNA chip}, plastic blocks with small wells {microarray, plate}, optical-fiber tips {bead array}, or glass slides {planar array}.

process

For example, plastic blocks have wells. Wells have reactive-chemical solutions to assay samples. Array probes samples by hybridizing oligonucleotides to sample RNAs or cDNAs. Reader detects hybridization amount using light. Statistical and comparative calculations follow.
