Abstract

The present invention relates to spatially-addressable sandwich arrays of compounds, particularly biological compounds such as peptides and polynucleotide probes, and methods of making and using the same. The present invention also relates to a method and device for holding together the substrates of the sandwich array, more particularly, a clamping device for securely yet safely holding substrates of a sandwich array together during assembly, use, storage, and/or transport of the sandwich array.
