Claims
- 1. An array of molecules deposited on one or more substrates such that the array elements are distributed in three space dimensions.
- 2. An array of claim 1 where the molecules are DNA, RNA or proteins.
- 3. A method for analysis of samples using an array of claim 1.
- 4. An array of claim 1 where the substrates used for deposition of array elements are made of glass.
- 5. An array of claim 1 where the substrates used for deposition of array elements are glass tubes.
- 6. An array of claim 1 where the cross-section of the substrates is less than 1 mm.
- 7. An array of claim 1 where the substrates used for deposition of array elements have a square cross-section.
- 8. An array of claim 1 comprising the array is fabricated from assembly of two-dimensional arrays, each of the two-dimensional array being different from other such arrays being assembled.
- 9. A method of claim 3 where the samples being analyzed are fluorescently labeled.
- 10. A method of claim 3 where the samples being analyzed are radioactively labeled.
