Abstract

See full text

Methods for non-random loading of single analyte molecules into array structures are provided. The methods allow for distribution of a population of target molecules into a plurality of size confined regions such as wells. Sizing moieties are linked to individual target molecules. The sizing moieties are of sufficient size, relative to the size-confined reaction or observation regions, such that only a selected number of sizing moieties will fit into the size confined regions. The confined regions and the sizing moieties or target molecules comprise a selected charge that allow for controlling the loading of the sizing moities.
