A new generation biochip is described as capable of supporting high-throughput (HT), multiplexed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). These biochips consist of an optically flat, glass plate containing 96 wells formed by an enclosing hydrophobic Teflon mask. The footprint dimensions of each well and the plate precisely match those of a standard microplate.

The machine is capable of making a combination of standard, degenerate, or modified oligos in a single plate. The run time is typically 17 hr for two plates of 20-mers and a reaction scale of 40 nM.
