Abstract: The present invention provides a sensor array device with multiple sensor junctions which have been created through the assembly of two or more differently functionalized surfaces. The functionalizing of the prospective sensor junction areas with sensor compounds occurred when the different surfaces were physically separated from each other before the assembly of the sensor array. By these means, sensor junctions can be built smaller than conventional deposition techniques like printing and photolithography would allow for otherwise. As a consequence, each individual sensor junction contains two potentially different sensor compounds. The sensor array identifies and quantifies different biomolecules.

Abstract: A method for the reduction of the complexity of nucleic acid pool(s), comprising: providing a sample with one or more nucleic acid molecules; cutting the nucleic acid molecules by a random and/or sequence independent cutting step thereby obtaining a pool of nucleic acid fragments; and amplifying one or more fragments of said nucleic acid molecules, wherein the one or more fragments constitute at least a fraction of all fragments of the nucleic acid molecules, wherein the amplified or amplifying one or more fragments of said fraction are divided into different subpools, and wherein the fragments of each subpool comprise a common nucleic acid feature.
