Abstract:
1. A method of statistically analyzing response signals obtained from a sensor element array to determine the statistical validity of said response signals, said method comprising: a) providing an array comprising a population of sensor elements at a density of least 20,000 sensor elements per 1 mm b) contacting said array with a composition comprising at least a target analyte, thereby producing a response signal at said sensor elements of at least one of said first and second subpopulations; c) obtaining individual response signals from 5 to 100 separate sensor elements from at least one of said first and second subpopulations; and d) performing a statistical analysis on said response signals from at least one of said first and second subpopulations, whereby statistical validity of said response signals is determined.
