The present invention relates to the field of methods and devices of miniaturized synthesis. More specifically, the present invention relates to the parallel synthesis of large number of different types of molecules and oligomers, such as oligonucleotides (oligos), peptides, lipids, carbohydrates, small ligand molecules, and other organic and inorganic molecules as probes for multiplexing assays. The probes may be synthesized from and/or attached to nanobeads to microbeads. The present invention provides for assays of multiplexing large scale biology, such as analysis of genomic DNAs and RNAs and proteomic proteins or peptides performed simultaneously on the synthetic beads. |
