A method and device for preparing desired sequences on a substrate at known locations. Known locations (10) of a substrate (2) are irradiated by way of a, mask (8) so as to activate a material (4) for binding. The substrate is then exposed to, a first material (12) for binding thereto. Second locations (14) are then irradiated, through a mask and exposed to a second material (16). A variety of sequences may, be formed through selective irradiation of the substrate followed by application of, selected materials. A reactor system and fluorescence detection system are also dis-, closed.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 7, 1990 and granted August 28, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 7, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 7, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
