Disclosed is an analytical measurement method for use in diagnosis, in research looking for active substances, in combinatorial chemistry, in crop protection, in toxicology or in environmental protection. This method makes a solid support which is essentially composed of an inert solid support material on which hydrophilic measurement zones which may be provided with a surface loading, are separated from one another by at least one hydrophobic coating in the form of separate zones around the hydrophilic measurement zones, where hte number of measurement points applied per cm2 of the support is greater than or equal to 10. In practise, the following steps are carried out: a) application one or more times of mutually different reagents singly or in a mixture to the individual hydrophilic measurement zones on the support, b) treatment of the support with at least one reagent common to all the hydrophilic measurement zones so that the reagent is placed simultaneously on a plurality or all of the hydrophilic measurement zones, c) optionally washing all the measurement zones together after the application of the reagents or after the completion of the time for the reagents to react with one another, d) measurement, together or singly, of the measurement zones. |
