Claims
- 1. A substrate comprising:(a) a substantially flat slide having an upper and lower surface, at least one of the surfaces including a surface chemistry adapted to accept a biomolecule; (b) a ceramic labeling indicia bonded to either the upper surface or lower surface of said slide, whereby the indicia itself is ceramic and chemically inert to the surface chemistry.
- 2. The substrate of claim 1 wherein the surface chemistry further includes a biomolecular immobilizing film coating said upper surface of said slide.
- 3. The substrate of claim 2 further comprising a biomolecule attached to said upper surface of said substrate.
- 4. The substrate of claim 3 wherein said biomolecule is a DNA probe.
- 5. The substrate of claim 1 further comprising an array of biomolecules attached to the upper surface of said slide.
- 6. The substrate of claim 5 wherein said array further comprises a matrix of spotted biomolecule locations whereby said locations are spaced between 10-500 μm apart.
