Abstract
Apparatus and methods for screening a library of materials. Materials are provided in a plurality of locations on a substrate. The locations include first regions that are sufficiently transparent to a first form of radiation to permit analysis of the portion of the sample material supported in the first region using a first analytical technique, and second regions that are sufficiently transparent to a second form of radiation to permit analysis of a portion of the sample supported in the second region using a second analytical technique, but are insufficiently transparent to the first form of radiation to permit analysis of the portion of the sample material supported in the second region using the first analytical technique. Sample materials are screened at one or more sample locations of the substrate using the first analytical technique in the first region and the second analytical technique in the second region.
