Abstract

Methods of improving signal detection in microsphere array sensors are described, together with methods for background subtraction in an array. This effect can be achieved using arrays with wells with different shapes, or surfaces coated with reflective or selectively absorptive coatings. In addition, the array includes a signal transducer element.
