Field: Organic fine chemistry (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC B  C | IPC B  C

Claim 0:
1. A method for making an array comprising:
a. performing a conditioning step on a surface of the array in an absence of monomers, which conditioning step comprises exposing one or more features on the surface to one or more coupling solutions and to one or more photoresist solutions;
b. repeating step (a) at least once;
c. performing a synthesis step upon the surface to add at least one monomer; and
d. repeating step (c) at least once to form a sequence, wherein, as compared to an array made in an absence of performing steps (a) and (b), steps (a) and (b) performed prior to synthesizing the sequence enhance attachment of the sequence to the surface of the array, increase a sensitivity of the array by at least 1%, increase a specificity of the array by at least 1%, increase a reproducibility of the array by at least 1%, and enhance binding of a target to the sequence on the array by at least 1%.
