Abstract:
Characterizing the chemical composition of microarray features is a difficult yet important task in the production of in situ-synthesized microarrays. Here, we describe a method to determine the chemical composition of microarray features, directly on the feature. This method utilizes nondiffusional chemical cleavage from the surface along with techniques from MALDI-MS tissue imaging, thereby making the chemical characterization of high-density microarray features simple, accurate, and amenable to high-throughput.
