ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus and method for determining a signal produced by a micro array device. The apparatus provides an unstructured probe and structured probe. The unstructured probe binds to a target and provides a first signal that can be compared to a second signal produced by a structured probe. A more accurate level of intensity of the first signal can be determined by comparing to the second signal produced by the structured probe. A method for determining a more accurate level of signal intensity produced from the unstructured probes bound to the target is also disclosed.
