Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: a) providing: b) contacting the surface of said first element with said first solution under conditions such that at least a portion of said first PCR primers attach to at least a portion of said surface so as to create a first modified surface comprising attached molecules; c) contacting the bottom surface of said second element with said second solution under conditions such that at least a portion of said second PCR primers attach to at least a portion of said bottom surface so as to create a second modified surface comprising attached molecules; and d) positioning said second modified surface, with said second PCR primers attached thereto, on top of said first modified surface, with said first PCR primers attached thereto, so as to create a plurality of first regions defined by said indentations, said first regions comprising unmasked attached molecules, and second regions comprising masked attached molecules, thereby making an array.
