Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 08 / 611,804 filed Mar. 6, 1996, which is a continuation-in-part of copending applications Ser. No. 08 / 402,076 filed Mar. 10, 1995 and Ser. No. 08 / 402,277 filed Mar. 10, 1995, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.1. INTRODUCTION

[0002] The present invention provides for a patterned multi- array, multi-specific surface (PMAMS) for electrochemiluminescence based tests, as well as methods for making and using PMAMS.2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] 2.1. Diagnostic Assays

[0004] There is a strong economic need for rapid sensitive diagnostic technologies. Diagnostic technologies are important in a wide variety of economic markets including health care, research, agricultural, veterinary, and industrial marketplaces. An improvement in sensitivity, time required, ease of use, robustness, or cost can open entirely new diagnostic markets where previously no technology could meet th...
