Claim:
1. A composite microarray, the composite microarray comprising: a solid support, the solid support comprising a first analytical site, and a first reactive site associated with the solid support, the first reactive site comprising a first bead and at least one type of active agent, the at least one type of active agent being associated with the first bead and being configured to bind a compound, wherein dimensions of the first analytical site do not exceed 1 mm; wherein the first analytical site is distinct from the first reactive site; and wherein the first reactive site is fluidically connected to the first analytical site so as to enable at least one analyte to migrate from the first bead to the first analytical site, the at least one analyte being at least one member selected from the group consisting of the active agent, a fragment of the active agent, a chemically modified form of the active agent, an enzymatically modified form of the active agent, and a compound bound to the active agent.
