Abstract
A planar array having plurality of biological recognition molecules including at least two types of biological recognition molecules distributed about a substrate is disclosed. A first type of biological recognition molecules is distributed according to a first frequency and a second type of biological recognition molecules is distributed according to a second frequency. Another planar array having a plurality of biological recognition molecules including at least two kinds of biological recognition molecules is disclosed. The recognition molecules are distributed about a substrate with first kind of biological recognition molecules distributed at a first height or depth relative to a surface of the substrate and a second kind of biological recognition molecules distributed at a second height or depth relative to the surface. An apparatus including a surface normal interferometry platform including a scanning pathway and a plurality of analyzer molecules adapted to detect the presence or absence of a plurality of target analytes is also disclosed. The plurality of analyzer molecules are distributed about the scanning pathway according to a multiplexing scheme. A method including multiplexing a plurality of kinds of capture molecules about a detection pathway is further disclosed. The method also includes contacting a biological sample to the array, detecting the presence or absence of binding of the plurality of kinds of capture molecules and a plurality of target analytes using interferometry.
