Abstract
A microarray slide comprises a flat platform having a plurality of compartments thereon, the compartments having a bottom and a sidewall extending from the bottom. The platform and compartments are formed of a polymer material, such as polystyrene or cycloolefin, or other plastic material. The sidewall has a low profile such that the ratio of the surface area of the bottom to the height of the sidewall is greater than 30. In another aspect of the invention, the top surface of the slide is coated with a layer of reflective material such as aluminum, gold, chromium or other suitable reflective material. The layer of reflective material may be coated with a layer of protective coating, to prevent corrosion or other damage to the reflective layer and to functionalize the surface.
